Ten leading Palestinian civil society organisations have long been active in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) education, each delivering projects in a range of non-formal settings. Since 2023(?), these organisations have gradually built rapport, shared experiences, and coordinated activities. Meeting regularly over the period, they eventually signed an umbrella Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise their cooperation. The partner organisations listed below have long been recipients of grants from Enabel, the Belgian development agency. To further formalise their collaborationand in line with both Enabels priorities and the partners shared objectivesEnabel has awarded them an 18-month grant, starting in early 2025, to establish the Palestinian STEAM CSO Network.
