The MileSteam project officially kicked off with an inspiring in-person meeting at Frohsinn Bildungszentrum in Augsburg. Representatives from all partner institutions came together to align on the project’s mission: fostering inclusion and excellence in STEAM education for students with immigrant backgrounds. The agenda focused on project management, timeline planning, partner roles, and the innovative methodology that will be developed to mitigate learning  losses. The session also created space for cultural exchange and networking, setting the tone for a truly collaborative and transnational initiative. This foundational meeting marked the beginning of MileSteam’s journey across Europe, laying the groundwork for impactful change in inclusive education.
