Info days were organized by Eurodimensions in MT, NEMO in NL, SCOALA 10 in RO, THEMISTOKLIS in EL, EFFEBI in IT in order to officially launch the STEAM BOX, the Labs and to invite other schools to take part to the Final Contest. It was typically structured as a half-day event, aimed at addressing other schools and students at local, regional, national level with the advertising campaign and at showing them the App and its functionalities.
The events were therefore conceived as an info day for students and teachers where they can share their experiences in relation to environmental education and share initiatives specifically targeting plastic usage at school level. In this way was possible to enforce formal and informal cooperation between schools and establish a fruitful alliance on the topic.
