Dancing with STEAM

🎭✨ Science in motion, technology in action!

Over the past months, young people in Palermo, Sicily 🇮🇹 have been taking part in the Dancing with STEAM project (Project Number: 2025-1-FR02-KA210-YOU-000349743), co-funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ KA210 Youth Small-Scale Partnerships programme.

Through a first cycle of workshops, participants explored physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering concepts using dance, movement and theatre. Complex scientific ideas were transformed into creative and engaging learning experiences, allowing young people to understand STEAM subjects through their bodies, collaboration and artistic expression.

The journey then continued with a second cycle of digital workshops, where participants experimented with innovative tools and technologies to reinterpret the concepts they had previously explored.

🚀 One of the activities focused on the air rocket experiment, helping participants understand scientific principles such as pressure, propulsion and motion. Using augmented reality, they created interactive learning experiences by linking explanatory videos to the experiment, making scientific concepts more accessible and engaging for other young people.

By combining science, arts and digital innovation, Dancing with STEAM is helping young people develop scientific, creative and digital competences while discovering new ways of learning.

🎭✨ The Dancing with STEAM journey continues in Palermo, Sicily! 🇮🇹

Over the past weeks, our local workshops have brought together young people from Palermo to explore STEAM subjects through movement, theatre, creativity and digital innovation.

We are excited to announce that we have successfully completed with 24 young people the first cycle of 5 workshops, where participants experimented with physics, chemistry, mathematics, technology and creative expression through embodied learning activities.

The learning journey is now continuing with new sessions.

🌍 Through Dancing with STEAM, participants discover that science and technology can be explored not only through theory, but also through movement, collaboration, imagination and artistic expression.

📍 Workshops are taking place in Palermo, Sicily, and activities will continue until November 2026.

🎭✨ The workshops of the Erasmus+ project Dancing with STEAM continue in Sicily! 🇮🇹

Young participants are now working on transforming the first three STEAM modules based on theatre, movement and embodied learning into digital and creative activities. 💻🌍

During the workshops, they are experimenting with different digital tools, testing creative ideas and exploring how technology can support imagination, artistic expression and collaborative learning. ✨

The participants are discovering how movement, storytelling and creativity can become digital experiences through innovation, fantasy and teamwork. 🚀

The activities are part of the Erasmus+ project “Dancing with STEAM” (Project Number: 2025-1-FR02-KA210-YOU-000349743), co-funded by the European Union. 🇪🇺

The local workshops of the Erasmus+ project “Dancing with STEAM” continue in Italy! 🇮🇹✨

After the first successful sessions, we have now launched a second local workshop cycle with another group of young participants from Palermo, continuing to explore STEAM competences through movement, dance, theatre and embodied learning experiences connecting science with creativity and self-expression. 🌍🎭

Tomorrow, the group will begin the digital component of the workshops, experimenting with creative technologies and digital tools connected to STEAM education and artistic expression. 💻✨
The activities are being facilitated by our youth worker/trice who previously took part in the international training course and are now transferring the methodology locally to young people in Sicily.
📍New workshop sessions will continue throughout the coming months involving around 60 young participants across Sicily.

If you are a young person based in Sicily and would like to join the project activities, feel free to contact us and become part of the experience! 💫

💃🔬 The first local workshops of the Erasmus+ project “Dancing with STEAM” have officially started in Italy!

During the first sessions, young participants explored STEAM competences through movement, dance, theatre and embodied learning experiences connecting science with creativity and self-expression. 🌍✨

Through practical experiments and movement-based activities, participants worked on topics such as:
🧠 safety, trust and group synchronisation
⚡ force, gravity and acceleration through body movement
🧪 chemical reactions, transformation and dynamic balance through creative exploration

The activities are being facilitated by our youth worker/trice who previously took part in the international training course and are now transferring the methodology locally to young people in Sicily.

📍The first workshop took place on Saturday, May 9, and new sessions will continue throughout the coming months involving around 60 young participants.

If you are a young based in Sicily and would like to join the project activities, feel free to contact us and become part of the experience! 💫

On Friday 17 April, FICUS ETS jumped on air as a guest on a radio show to present the Dancing with STEAM project 🎙️✨

We talked about how Dancing with STEAM mixes science, art, dance and creativity 💃🔬🎨 to make learning more fun, inclusive and engaging for young people. Because yes — learning can (and should) be dynamic and inspiring! 🚀

It was also a great chance to connect live with the audience in Italian 🇮🇹 and share ideas with the local community 💬

Today we successfully concluded the online digital training cycle of the Dancing with STEAM project 💻✨

Over the past sessions, our youth workers have deepened their understanding of digital tools and explored how to integrate them into non-formal education through creative and embodied approaches 🎭🤖

This final session marked not just the end of a training phase, but the beginning of a more confident and conscious use of technology in educational practices. Participants are now better equipped to design and facilitate activities that combine movement, creativity and digital innovation in meaningful ways 🎯

By strengthening both technical and pedagogical competences, we are building the foundations for impactful workshops where young people can learn, experiment and express themselves in inclusive and engaging environments 🌱

A big thank you to all the participants for their active involvement and energy throughout the training!

Next step: putting knowledge into action 🚀

Missed what happened in Marseille? 🇫🇷✨

Within the project Dancing with STEAM (Project No. 2025-1-FR02-KA210-YOU-000349743), co-funded by the Erasmus+ KA210-YOU programme, we developed 5 learning modules that bring STEAM to life through dance, theatre and creative methodologies.

From physics to chemistry, from mathematics to ethics, these modules transform scientific concepts into interactive, embodied and inclusive learning experiences for youth work 💡

👉 Now available online!

Let’s rethink how we teach and learn STEAM—through movement, creativity and collaboration 🌍

Today we held the first online digital training session of the Dancing with STEAM project 💻✨

Our youth workers had the opportunity to explore the digital tools that will be used in the upcoming workshops, discovering their features, educational potential and practical applications in non-formal learning environments 🎯

This training was an important step to strengthen digital competences and to prepare future activities where creativity, movement and technology come together in an innovative way 🎭🤖

By building a shared understanding of the tools, we are supporting our youth workers in creating more engaging, inclusive and interactive learning experiences for young people 🌱

We’re just getting started — stay tuned for the next steps of the journey! 🚀
