Connecting STEM education and the humanities: Georgian International University GIU’s contribution to the work of STEM4Humanities
![](/uploads_script/news/v9u2xfywi8tavbi.png)
In a rapidly evolving labor market, the demand for professionals with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills continues to grow, reaching 75% (Government of WA, 2020). However, the importance of integrating STEM education into humanities curricula cannot be overemphasized. Recognizing this need, Georgian International University GIU through its participation in the Erasmus+ CBHE project STEM4Humanities is on a mission to revolutionize higher education by bridging the gap between the STEM disciplines and the humanities.
Led by the University of Macerata (Italy) and supported by a consortium of distinguished educational institutions across Europe, STEM4Humanities aims to empower humanities students with the key skills and competencies needed to succeed in today's work environment. By enhancing interdisciplinary learning and innovation, the project seeks to create a more inclusive and dynamic educational landscape.
Through a range of innovative activities , including online trainings, free educational resources, online internships and interdisciplinary approaches, STEM4Humanities seeks to equip humanities faculty and students with the tools and knowledge of STEM principles.
Snapshot from the partners' meeting in Italy
The project's kick-off meeting, held in Macerata, Italy on 8-9 February 2024, marked the start of a collaborative journey towards transformative change in education. Partner institutions, including Georgian International University GIU (Georgia), Mitropolitiko College Anoymi Ekpaideytiki Etairia (Greece), Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine), Organization “Innovation Hive”(Greece), Universite de Lille (France), Mykolo Romerio Universitetas (Lithuania), Politechnika Wroclawska (Poland), met to lay the foundations for the implementation of the project.
The next step is to distribute a self-assessment tool to university professors teaching in humanities faculties to explore their STEM competencies and needs. Based on the analysis of the results, we will create an online educational program (STEM training to Humanities professors) with the aim of supporting them in the integration of STEM principles in their teaching.
