Abstract

This paper presents the summary of a qualitative study developed during the first year of the European project ENGAGE. Our aim is to identify opportunities and challenges for equipping the next generation for responsible citizenship at scale. ENGAGE aims to spread the teaching and learning of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) by connecting cutting-edge Science and Technology educative materials (Sherborne et al, 2014). Our goal is to reach 12.000 teachers and 300.000 students in 14 countries within 3 years. For that, the ENGAGE Hub platform (EngagingScience.eu) combines Open Educational Resources (OER) for students, Open Online Courses (MOOC) in EdX platform and Community of Practice (CoP) for teachers. Findings show that ENGAGE reached approximately 3000 teachers in 20 countries during the first year. Various strategies were also emphasized as well as comments related to 10 RRI inquiry skills described in the ENGAGE framework.
