The Poly-Universe in Preschool and Lower Primary School Education (EARLY-POLY) project’s international partners convened in May 2026 for the last in-person working session. This time the meeting was organised in Jyväskylä, Finland by Experience Workshop. This gathering brought together the full consortium, including the coordinator, Eszterhazy Karoly Katolikus Egyetem (Hungary), Poly-Universe Ltd. (Hungary), Universitatea Crestina Partium (Romania), and Espace de l’Art Concret (EAC).

On May 19th and 20th, 2026, Experience Workshop organised two day multiplier event for the Poly-Universe in Preschool and Lower Primary School Education (EARLY-POLY) project in Jyväskylä, Finland. Over thirty participants from various professional and national backgrounds attended the events to advance STEAM education for young learners.

Continuing our active research phase in Jyväskylä, in February 2026 Experience Workshop visited Vastatuulen daycare to conduct another pilot session for the Erasmus+ KA2 project, EARLY-POLY. This project explores the use of the innovative Poly-Universe toolkit in preschool education, aiming to create a comprehensive guide for teachers working with children aged 3-10.

In the middle of February 2026, Experience Workshop visited the local English-speaking daycare, The Fox Nest. The visit was a key milestone in our ongoing Erasmus+ KA2 project, EARLY-POLY. This project explores the use of the innovative Poly-Universe toolkit in preschool education, aiming to create a comprehensive guide for teachers working with children aged 3-10.

The Methodological Study book for the ERASMUS+ EARLYPOLY project is now published free-to-use. This comprehensive resource is now available in both English and Hungarian. Experience Workshop is proud to have contributed as a project partner, with our STEAM director, Dr Kristóf Fenyvesi, shaping the STEAM methodological foundation of this work.

On Valentines day, Experience Workshop conducted an Early-Poly STEAM Education meeting with early childhood education teachers from Voionmaa daycare and preschool.

In the end of January, our team at Experience Workshop had a playful meeting with children from Pilke Playschool using the Poly-Universe toolkit. This session provided a real-time practice within our ongoing ERASMUS+ EARLY-POLY project.
