The Euroopean Science Teaching network
Science on Stage is a European initiative project designed to encourage teachers from across Europe to share best practice in science teaching. Science on Stage has been running since 1999.

The aim of Science on Stage is to enable teachers to deliver science in a more creative and engaging way:
• Provide a forum for teachers to exchange teaching ideas for the sciences
• Inspire and re-enthuse science teachers
• Provide teachers with access to quality science teaching resources and ideas
• Inform teachers about wider science research
• Raise the profile of science teaching with education ministers in the countries involved

Science teachers

Workshops, performances, exhibitions; every two years there is organized a festival (2008 in Berlin, Germany) – the following one will take place in 2011 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

International (EU member states + Canada, Norway, Switzerland)

Every two years festival as a culmination of national events in the participating countries; platform for science teachers to share best practices in science teaching and exchange of teaching concepts and experience.

Europe wide initiative with the aim to raise the interest in science and science career and to promote creative and inspiring science teaching; however less visible than other comparable national activities.
