Webinar Description
Interdisciplinarity is essential for meaningful learning in the 21st century, and astronomy offers an ideal entry point, naturally connecting scientific investigation with broader cultural, historical, and societal contexts. In this webinar, we will explore how interdisciplinary approaches can be designed and implemented in both classroom and informal settings to deepen learners’ engagement with astronomy while fostering connections across science, the arts, language, sustainability, and citizenship education among other discipline domains. .
Drawing on insights from the Astro‑Journeys framework and the Big Ideas in Astronomy, the session will highlight practical strategies, examples of interdisciplinary activities, and the pedagogical principles that support learners in making sense of complex, real‑world problems. Whether you are a teacher, educator, or science communicator, this webinar will provide concrete ideas for enriching your programmes through meaningful integration of multiple disciplines.stro-Journeys.
What you will learn:
- Understand the value of interdisciplinary learning using astronomy as the overarching theme
- Explore how astronomy naturally links to other subjects such as mathematics, history, arts, and other topics such as sustainability
- Discover practical examples and templates of interdisciplinary activities to use with learners
- Learn how to align interdisciplinary approaches with national curricula and the Astro‑Journeys competence framework
- Gain insights into designing learning experiences that build critical thinking, creativity, and inquiry skills
Who should attend:
- Primary and secondary school teachers of all subjects.
- School leaders and STEAM coordinators.
- Informal science educators (science centres, museums, planetariums).
