How can university-based researchers and engagement professionals collaborate more effectively with youth workers and community learning practitioners to support young people through STEM?

This online training from Science Ceilidh offers insight into how STEM can be meaningfully embedded in youth work and community learning development (CLD) settings—not just to foster interest in science, but to support broader social outcomes like wellbeing, confidence, and connection.

Drawing on examples from the Curiosity in Action programme, the session explores youth-led and relational engagement models, which often differ from traditional university-led approaches. You’ll hear from practitioners, join facilitated breakout discussions, and leave with practical tools to shape your own work with young people and community partners.

Why attend?

  • Discover how STEM fits within youth work values and settings

  • Explore opportunities to collaborate with youth and CLD practitioners

  • Reflect on how engagement can centre social impact, not just knowledge transfer

  • Gain practical ideas and tools to adapt to your own outreach or partnership work

Ideal for researchers, engaged academics, and public engagement professionals looking to build more equitable, community-rooted partnerships.
