Start 2018-19: sharing the joy of learning!

In StarT students carry out projects related to science, technology or mathematics, and teachers get support for the implementation of interdisciplinary and collaborative project-based learning. We share and award the most distinguished students' projects and teachers' best educational practices annually to spread innovations made around the world. The registration for StarT 2018-19 has now closed, and the registration for StarT 2019-20 will open in May.

In April everyone can get inspired by the project vides made by our participants as we organize the international public voting on Youtube. In June we will award the best projects by children and youngsters and best educational practices by teachers in the international LUMA StarT Gala 2019 in Jyväskylä. ¨

As a StarT learning community you can benefit from our events, trainings and materials for free - welcome along!
