Abstract

We present an evaluation carried out on a large-scale teacher training activity, the festival “Science on Stage” (SonS) 2013. SonS is a European initiative offering teachers the opportunity to share ideas and teaching practices both on the national and international level. We evaluated the project’s effectiveness in pursuing clear objectives, in clearly defining the target group, and in internationally disseminating teaching projects. Our study documents the transfer of knowledge from the festival to the classroom, aims to identify the prerequisites thereof and, finally, allows formulating key factors for successful future large-scale science communication activities.
