Policy Recommendations for STEAM

Development of policy recommendations

The development of policy recommendations within the Road-STEAMer project has been enriched through a series of dynamic workshops and collaborative activities. These events provided opportunities to engage with diverse stakeholders, gather valuable insights, and refine recommendations through dialogue and co-creation. Each activity contributed uniquely to the iterative process, addressing key challenges in STEAM education and advancing actionable strategies. 

The process of developing STEAM policy recommendations has been structured into three phases:

(1) The gathering phase

In this initial phase, the outputs from the previous deliverables (Policy Context for STEAM and Analysis of policy gaps for STEAM) served as the foundation for discussions during various interactive events involving a diverse range of stakeholders. These discussions resulted in the creation of draft policy recommendations. 

(2) The fine-tuning phase

The draft policy recommendations from phase 1 were revisited and refined through discussions held at three additional events, once again involving a diverse mix of stakeholders. The objective was to further enhance and finetune the recommendations. 

(3) The validation phase

In this final phase, the policy recommendations were assessed for feasibility and potential implementation risks, with the goal of producing a finalised list of STEAM policy recommendations. 

The development of the final policy recommendations was a collaborative and iterative process, incorporating insights from diverse activities and workshops at key stages. Each phase brought valuable contributions, ensuring the recommendations were thoroughly reviewed, validated, and refined to address the needs and priorities of all stakeholders.
