What is this project?

MARIAN is a three-year Erasmus+ project (2024–2027) focused on fostering social inclusion for children from Refugee, Migrant, and Minority (RMM) backgrounds by providing high-quality, culturally relevant education. The project integrates Montessori principles, creative technologies, and a STEAM approach to transform the teaching and learning of Mathematics. By empowering teachers with innovative methodologies and engaging lesson plans, MARIAN aims to make math more accessible, meaningful, and inclusive, with a special emphasis on encouraging girls’ participation in STEM fields.

What Will We Do?
