Athens, Greece

In a remarkable showcase of innovation and commitment to inclusive education, Project SpicE made a resounding impact at the inaugural Interdisciplinary Conference on Special Education held at the prestigious Royal Olympic Hotel in Athens. Led by a distinguished team including Georgia Sakellaropoulou, Natalia Spyropoulou, and Professor Achilles Kameas from the esteemed Hellenic Open University, the project’s presentation illuminated the path toward a more inclusive educational landscape in Greece.

The session, which garnered significant attention from educators, policymakers, and stakeholders, delved into the intricate realms of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education, with a keen focus on its integration within the framework of inclusive education tailored to the Greek context. Drawing upon an extensive literature review, the team elucidated the pivotal role of STEAM in fostering accessibility and enriching learning experiences for all students, including those with diverse learning needs.

The presentation not only underscored the theoretical underpinnings but also outlined the ambitious objectives of Project SpicE, which seeks to catalyze transformative change within the Greek educational landscape. By fostering collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange, the project aims to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds.
