It’s our great honour and pleasure to be able to inform that MASS Project started on 1st October.

The overall aim of the project is to identify and disseminate best practises in the use of attractive and effective tools and methods of teaching science at the classroom level. We want to increase the number of educators who will be confident and successful in teaching science topics in the sense that they will make them more relevant and accessible to students.

In the initial phase of the project, the Management team will work on developing Quality Assurance Plan that will serve as the main reference point for the project evaluation. The plan will be revised according to the actual needs of the project implementation. Special sessions will be dedicated to the evaluation of the project activities and potential revision of the plan during the Collaborative and Evaluation Partner Meeting each year.
