Within the STEAMDIVE project, we aimed to foster inclusion, diversity, and equal opportunities, addressing discrimination, stigma in school environment. This was performed with the use of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) educational framework designed to promote as a means for creative and essential learning. Through the designed workshops –that promote the "learning by doing" method– and the project's objectives, students realize the value of diversity and work on projects that promote it. The project’s objectives linked to the selected priorities are: To make schools students realize through practice how important diversity is and how everyone (including SEN or SEN(D) students, people of different race and/or religion) is unique, beautiful and should be accepted as that. To make students and teachers gain a different perspective of the human body and gender and realize that beauty and art is not about models but about uniqueness To use STEAM for Diversity and to be trained in the STEAM framework. To realize the use of Art (especially cinema and painting) in STEAM education. To use Art as a tool for the empowerment of inclusion.
