The Department of Early Years and Primary Education, Faculty of Education at UM, through the participation of Prof. Suzanne Gatt, is partner in the ERASMUS+ project TEST – Teaching Experimentation in Science and Technology. This project aims to promote the development, testing, implementation and dissemination of innovative pedagogical methods in science education.

The project is coordinated by the Istituto Comprensivo Statale "L. Fibonacci" Italy and has partners from Italy, Greece, France, and Malta. The project partners met in Malta between 16 and 19 January to discuss the training taking place in each partner country and worked on the development of the Manual for teachers of primary and secondary schools wanting to teach science through inquiry.
