International exchange 2024

Trip by representatives of the MINT network to Scotland

From 16 to 21 September 2024, fifteen teachers from the Label MINT network travelled to Kilmarnock and Falkirk to visit schools that had won the Scottish STEM Nation Award. The aim was to exchange best practices in promoting MINT subjects and to understand what makes the Scottish system interesting for our Swiss schools.
