The project will focus on new approaches to the teaching of language sensitive STEM subjects in order to optimise regional potential. A material bank will be compiled with didactical-methodological teaching materials in digital form for language-sensitive STEM teaching.
In particular, a region-specific strategy will be developed for institutional bilingualism. This will include a concept for bilingual education in border and urban areas as well as a PR awareness campaign, which will highlight the benefits of instituntional bilingualism to key players in the region.
Finally, a report on the project’s achievements will be compiled.
