Lumen Association

Lumen manages a public center (FabLab Junior) dedicated to STEAM Education for children aged 6-14: it is the first in the Emilia-Romagna region and one of the few in Italy. The Association organizes workshops to stimulate STEM learning among children and training sessions for teachers and educators. Lumen also collaborates with local schools and youth centers and is the Lead Partner of local, regional and national projects aimed at promoting STEM and STEAM Education. It also works to overcome gender stereotypes and increase the number of girls choosing STEM educational careers. Lumen is also active in European projects and it is the Lead Partner of a project financed by REC Programme against gender stereotypes and gender-based violence online. FabLab Junior is part of Casa Corsini, a multifunctional public structure of the Municipality of Fiorano Modenese managed by Lumen and dedicated to social and collaborative innovation.
