The SMEC working group offers a training course for primary school teachers and museum educators.

The course aims to contribute to teachers' and museum educators' development of competences relating to the teaching of sciences through the use of museums as educational resources.

The participants, from EU member states and from centre-eastern European associated countries, can cover course fees and travel and subsistence expenses through Socrates grants from the National Agencies.
