Policy Recommendations for STEAM
Recommendations for enhancing STEAM education at local, national, and EU levels
(1) Redefine STEAM as a Holistic Curriculum
EU Level
The European Commission should issue specific guidelines to Member States on the development of a holistic STEAM curriculum that places emphasis on both science and arts literacy, ensuring that creativity and innovation are central and connected to all areas of learning, while also promoting flexibility to integrate interdisciplinary elements and allowing for freedom of choice in curriculum design. The role of informal learning spaces, such as museums and science centres, should be acknowledged as complementary to formal education.
National Level
National education ministries should revise their educational frameworks to include STEAM as a core element, moving beyond STEM-centric policies, and to allow for some flexibility in school. This revision should enhance interdisciplinary connections and encourage the development of skills that combine technical knowledge with creative problem solving.
