We are proud to introduce the first Learners’ Perspectives: a series of articles/blogs/videos produced by young learners presenting their views and experiences on non-formal learning. The first part of this series is officially live and provided by LATRA where they provided a workshop teaching young refugees how to use drones to map terrains from above.

Since the inception of the SySTEM 2020 map, we have had a total of 272 organisations from around Europe sign up. Alongside that, a total of 228 activities have been added to the map, creating a bank of science learning activities for institutions to use and learn from. One of the benefits of joining this Europe-wide network by the end of April was a chance to win the SySTEM 2020 STEAM award, which provided you with a free ticket to the Ecsite conference this year. Well, the winner of this competition has officially been picked at random.

Finding an agreement over what defines a non-formal or informal learning setting is difficult to pinpoint. For SySTEM 2020 and for future research within this area of study, clarity on these terms needs to be grasped. Science Gallery Dublin has provided a starting point with the release of a systematic literature review on these terms attempting to find some consensus, filling in the gaps where possible.

SySTEM 2020: Science learning outside the classroom is happy to present its very first newsletter to you. It's more than just project updates, it's all the latest developments in the field of out-of-school learning. Perhaps you have been confused by all these terms, like we have, formal/informal or nonformal? Which one is which and what is the difference? For the last few months, we have been trying to figure this out.

The communication of SySTEM 2020 is like the modern completion of Alexandre Dumas’ battle cry in The Three Musketeers. We believe that partnership between people who want to contribute to the same aim needs to be promoted – internally and externally. It's with this idea in mind that we at Ecsite have decided to kick-start SySTEM 2020 communications campaign. On social media, we wanted to connect our partners and our target audience with our mission - to promote science learning outside the classroom.
