The SABIR project is a co-design initiative fostering the network of NAECs in the Mediterranean. It was held both online (Mar-July 2024) and in person during a one-week residency in Milan. NAECs from Lebanon, Morocco, Spain and Turkey were invited.
We discussed the framework and meaning of an Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach during the kick-off meeting. Each NAEC then selected some 'standard' activities to be rethought as IBL ones. The project included three cycles of discussion, offline implementation according to the suggestion of the group, and presentation of improved activities. The final versions of the activities were eventually co-designed together during the residency.
In this presentation, we will illustrate the challenges, difficulties, and opportunities of this approach.
