The engaging and interactive sessions sparked new ideas and inspired participants to explore new possibilities in science education. The workshop series demonstrated a new way forward for Libyan education and generated enthusiastic discussions between trainers and participants.

 

"We are thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to share our vision for the future of science education with the Libyan Ministry of Education," said Dr. Michael Fraenzel, Managing Partner of Karl Kolb. "Our goal is to help prepare the next generation of learners to succeed in a rapidly changing world. We believe that with our comprehensive project approach, we can provide the tools and resources necessary to empower students and teachers alike."

 

The workshop series was a valuable opportunity to bring together educators from across Libya and to share knowledge and expertise. The discussions generated during the workshop series will help Karl Kolb and Phywe to further refine their solution for the Libyan market and to continue to develop innovative educational solutions for the global scientific community.
