Science on Stage Czech Republic
Every two years Science on Stage Czech Republic encourages STEM educators to register with their innovative project for the national show of science education. Here and at the Night of Scientists in the science center iQPark in Liberec, the Czech delegation for the European Science on Stage festival is chosen.
There are quite a lot of activities for professional development and networking of STEM teachers in the Czech Republic. What makes Science on Stage special compared to other initiatives is the international overlap. Science on Stage Czech Republic is motivated to enable as many Czech teachers as possible to exchange with colleagues from all over Europe by gathering travel costs and organising meetings with participants from past festivals.
