The Science and Innovation Centre employees meet with Norwegian partners

On 25 February 2021 in order to promote fellowship, discuss the progress of the project, and share experiences, employees of the Norway grant project “Development of the Innovation Center in Liepaja city” of Liepaja Municipal Education Department organized a meeting with Norwegian partners from the Jaermuseet Regional Museum. The project provides the development and implementation of educational programs at the Science and Education Innovation Centre (ZIIC).

There’s a plan to purchase the equipment for the co-creation space development at Autoru Street, as well as for the development of installations intended for Nature house, therefore Norwegian partner’s experience is influential. At the beginning of the meeting Kristine Niedre-Lathere, Head of the Liepaja Municipal Education Department, emphasized the importance of partnership in the development of the education sector. Project manager Laura Grundmane, environmental science expert Sniedze Vise, educational methodologist Laura Poruka and expert Kitija Kuduma presented the current progress of the project and vision for the future. In addition, project manager Magne Hognestad and his colleagues represented The Jaermuseet Regional Museum. In order to involve everybody in a passionate teaching performance of mathematics, participants of the meeting played the game “Magic Mathematics”.

This meeting is significant for the implementation of the project because the Norwegian experts’ experience will be considered when developing effective educational programs, and co-creation spaces of the Innovation Center in Liepaja. As well as dialogue will help to find solutions to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to promote students’ interest in the STEM and environmental sciences, ZIIC is planning to transfer a part of the learning process online.

The project “Development of the Innovation Centre in Liepaja City” is funded by the European Economica Area and Norway grants programme “Research and Education”. Its total cost is 986 049.00 euros, of which 754 327.40 euros is co-financing of the Norway Grants, 133 116.60 euros are co-financed by the State budget of Latvia and 98 605.00 euros by Liepaja City Municipality.
