About SpicE
SpicE’s bundle of actions aims to enhance Primary Education Teachers’ ability to implement effective STEAM instruction for protecting students with Mild Disabilities (Special Education) from educational and social exclusion. STEAM is used both as the means and as the purpose for enabling a much-needed shift in Special Education in Primary Education both at an in-service and pre-service level.The SpicE mobility actions of in-service and pre-service teachers (12 per country participating in 4 physical mobility sessions- a total of 48 teachers exchanged), we believe will have a profound impact on the field. The mobility sessions will be a unique opportunity to build significant knowledge where little has been done or even recorded.
