Follow-up Projects

NumericAll pioneered a gamified, museum-style methodology that turned non-formal mathematical tools into a hands-on experience designed for adult learners. That ethos has since reached well beyond its original audience, inspiring a growing family of EU-funded projects that carry its recreational, exhibit-based approach to learners of all ages across Europe. United by a shared conviction that experiential, exhibit-based learning can engage audiences often underserved by traditional instruction, these projects span environmental sustainability, the cultural history of mathematics, art and storytelling, cryptography and cybersecurity, the foundations of artificial intelligence, and the participatory co-curation of cultural heritage.

NumericAll’s legacy continues: introducing 6Milestones

The Erasmus+ project 6Milestones (Project Number: 2025-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000357272) carries that same spirit of NumericAll into secondary education through the lens of mathematical history. Six seminal works spanning more than three thousand years of mathematical thought are reimagined as contemporary classroom exhibits, an interactive e-book and a teachers’ toolkit, presenting mathematics as a living, cultural science and a tool for critical thinking, collaboration and active citizenship.

From NumericAll to MathArtStories: reimagining Mathematics through Art

MathArtStories (Project Number: 2024-1-SE01-KA220-SCH-000243287), extends the inclusive, non-formal ethos of NumericAll from adult education into lower secondary classrooms across Europe. The Erasmus+ KA220 project equips Mathematics teachers of 13- to 15-year-olds with Digital Storytelling tools and Interactive Simulations that, through Art ramifications, bring mathematical concepts, theorems and characters to life and strengthen students’ interest and excellence in STEAM.

NumericAll opens the door to AI: meet AI Exhibits

AI Exhibits is an EU-funded project that aims to make artificial intelligence accessible and comprehensible to teachers and secondary school students across Europe. Coordinated by IMAGINARY, in collaboration with organisations across Europe, the project develops hands-on exhibits that bring core concepts of artificial intelligence to life in engaging, interactive settings. The project website serves as both a project hub and a curated resource, hosting a growing catalogue of AI exhibitions taking place worldwide making it a valuable reference point for educators and science communicators working in the field of AI literacy. As part of its outputs, the consortium has developed free and open-source learning materials, including an online course entitled “AI Explorables for Schools,” introducing key topics such as artificial neural networks and reinforcement learning in a playful, accessible way for teachers.

The approach of AI Exhibits resonates closely with the philosophy underpinning NumericAll (Project Code: 2023-1-DE03-KA220-SCH-000153447), an Erasmus+ project coordinated by IMAGINARY (Germany). NumericAll similarly harnesses the pedagogical potential of gamified, hands-on museum exhibits in that case to build numeracy, literacy, and transversal skills among low-skilled adults developing a mobile museum comprising 8 interactive exhibits grounded in non-formal mathematical tools. Both projects share a conviction that experiential, exhibit-based learning can reach learners whom traditional classroom instruction has failed to engage, and that open, replicable methodologies are essential to achieving lasting educational impact across Europe.

NumericAll’s hands-on spirit goes digital: meet CipherEngine

CipherEngine builds directly on the foundations established by NumericAll. Where NumericAll demonstrated that non-formal, exhibit-based learning could unlock engagement and competence among low-skilled adults, CipherEngine takes that same philosophy into a new domain: cybersecurity and cryptography in secondary school classrooms. The experience gained by Citizens in Power through designing interactive, learner-centred educational experiences in NumericAll directly informed CIP’s role in the CipherEngine consortium, extending the principle that students learn most effectively by doing into the digital skills space.

Led by Radboud University (Netherlands) and developed in partnership with Grammar School (Cyprus), the American Farm School (Greece), and INFALIA PC (Greece), CipherEngine aims to increase secondary school students’ interest and engagement in STEM by integrating hands-on, interdisciplinary cybersecurity activities directly into national curricula. The project equips students with essential digital competencies, raises awareness of online threats, and empowers them to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Its key outputs include an E-Booklet with Short Videos introducing core cybersecurity concepts, a Cipher Toolkit offering educators ready-to-use, curriculum-aligned teaching materials, and the Cipher Fair — a live event format bringing students and cybersecurity experts together to apply their skills in real-world scenarios.

NumericAll expands into cultural participation: meet ExhiBIT

ExhiBIT is an EU-funded Erasmus+ project (2023-1-CY01-KA220-ADU-000152821) that explores how digital technologies, participatory methodologies, and cultural heritage can foster inclusion, dialogue, and lifelong learning. Coordinated by a consortium of cultural and educational organisations from Cyprus, Greece and Denmark, Exhibit developed a digital co-curation platform that enables users to engage with museum collections, create their own narratives, and contribute alternative perspectives to cultural heritage. Through workshops, museum labs, and community-based activities, ExhiBIT promotes active participation, critical reflection, and intercultural exchange, empowering adult learners to become co-creators rather than passive consumers of cultural content.

The approach of ExhiBIT resonates closely with the philosophy underpinning NumericAll: both projects build on the educational potential of interactive, exhibit-based experiences to engage audiences often underserved by traditional learning approaches. While NumericAll employs hands-on mathematical exhibits to strengthen numeracy, literacy, and transversal skills among low-skilled adults, ExhiBIT applies similar participatory principles to the fields of cultural heritage, digital storytelling, and community engagement. Together, they demonstrate how exhibit-based methodologies can create meaningful, accessible learning experiences that encourage curiosity, participation, and lifelong learning across diverse educational contexts.
