Promoting and Creating Innovation in Education
collaboration, interactive technologies, learning environments, strategy and policy
The aim of this report is to celebrate the five-year long journey of the FCL Ambassador network and the Ambassadors' efforts throughout this time, not forgetting those Ministries of Education who have trusted and invested in this initiative.

Above all, we would like to encourage other countries to join the network and discover its benefits for themselves.
Makerspaces In Schools
collaboration, independent learning, interactive technologies, learning environments
Makerspaces, which are designed for hands-on, collaborative, creative work, are a fairly recent addition to some schools in Europe and worldwide. Teachers in 15 schools in nine countries, interviewed for this publication, described approaches to learning enabled by, or necessary in, makerspaces such as constructivist, inquiry learning, collaborative and project-based; with teachers coaching and supporting rather than teaching in a traditional way. In this publication, case study schools have identified four possible approaches to ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of their makerspaces.
