Course summary

This course is designed for early years, pre-school,  primary and secondary education staff, and aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the education system in Estonia in order to broaden participants’ understanding of practices and policies.

The course offers an opportunity to discover the innovative Estonian education system and explore how STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is integrated into teaching and learning. Examine Estonia’s approaches to digital education, interdisciplinary learning, problem-solving and student-centred teaching. Gain practical ideas and inspiration to develop engaging, future-focused learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking and digital competence across the curriculum.

The course methodology encourages active participation, sharing of good practice and reflection of teaching methodologies applied in the classroom to improve the provision and the quality of childhood education in the participants’ own settings.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify innovative practices within the Estonian education system and explore how they can be adapted to their own school context.

  • Identify and evaluate interdisciplinary STEAM activities that connect Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics to real-world challenges.

  • Evaluate digital tools and technologies to enhance creativity, collaboration, problem-solving and student engagement.

  • Explore how inquiry-based and project-based learning methods to encourage curiosity, experimentation and independent thinking.

  • Develop activities that strengthen learners’ critical thinking, creativity and ability to solve problems across different curriculum areas.

  • Adapt teaching strategies and learning activities to support diverse learner needs and promote inclusive participation.

  • Develop a practical STEAM lesson or project that can be implemented in their own classroom.

“The whole courses was led skilfully and the group really gelled. There was something to look forward to at every moment and plenty of time to talk, reflect, have coffee, research. It was brilliant”
