About the seminar
This third Intercultural STEAM seminar presents an instructional framework for developing and implementing intercultural STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programs.
We will demonstrate how this instructional framework has been successfully applied in an international collaborative eco-movie project involving students from Korea and Australia. This seminar is a unique opportunity for Australian and Korean high school students, teachers and researchers to come together and foster international collaboration between Australian and Korean high school students by engaging them in the creation of student-led films that address key environmental issues.
We warmly invite educators, researchers, and schoolteachers who are interested in international collaboration programs aimed at enhancing students’ local and global awareness, as well as fostering cultural understanding.
