The national workshops programme has two purposes. Firstly, it will gather information and make contacts concerning the 'state of the art' in inquiry-based science teaching and education (IBST/E) in the 15 consortium countries. Secondly, it will present the principles, modules and techniques of the successful SINUS project in Germany, as a stimulus for discussion of science education issues in the country concerned.
The programme will run from September, although earlier meetings may be arrangedhas been running since July. There will be one meeting in each partner country plus a summing-up meeting of the National Liaison Partners and others involved in the workshops. This will be held in Nottingham on 10th Jan 2010. Each national meeting will be a small-group discussion to which perhaps 10-12 people will be invited, as representatives of the different stakeholder groups for science education in that country.
