Empower all learners to act as responsible, competent and effective democratic citizens in a world flooded by mis- and disinformation.

Manipulated and falsified information is now the most severe short-term risk the world faces.

Extreme weather, critical change to Earth systems, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse, natural resource shortages and pollution represent five of the top 10 most severe risks to be navigated in the coming decade. (World Economic Forum: The Global Risks Report 2024)

Education must lead the way out of the crisis.

The Teacher Academy SciLMi
— an Erasmus+ Partnership for Excellence funded from 2023 to 2026 —
rises to the challenge.

The Teacher Academy SciLMi develops, pilots, and evaluates cross-disciplinary blended intensive mobility programmes and trainings (BIP, BITs). Both pre- and in-service teachers are equipped with transversal competences, digital skills, and inclusive teaching strategies. The aim is to prepare teachers to instill in the future generation the ability to critically engage with the pressing socio-scientific issues outlined above, as well as to research and evaluate scientific claims and arguments for informed decision-making and action (PISA 2025 Science Competency 3). 

Participants in the BIP and BITs will receive guidance in developing lesson plans that foster the integration of meta-scientific literacy skills into their everyday teaching practices. Importantly, the programmes and trainings will endure beyond the project's lifespan, sustained through ongoing utilisation of Erasmus+ KA 1 funding.
