The project will develop resources for educators and adult learners that help build self-confidence, support lifelong learning, contribute to the development of 21st Century skills and encourage exchange of expertise and practice across the community and informal learning spaces such as libraries, museums and science centres.

The following tools will be produced in the lifetime of the project:

Resources

• Field Observation Grids for librarians and science educators
  Tool for observation and evaluation of inclusion and diversity in science education activities and librarian practice. Intended both for librarians and science educators.

• The Map-Guideline of Inclusive Practices
  Practical and reflective resource developed within the TinkerLib project, which brings together libraries and science education organizations to foster more inclusive and engaging learning environments for underrepresented adult learners. Based on collaborative discussions and in-depth observations across partner institutions, the guideline identifies four key aspects of inclusion—diversity, belonging, equity, and privilege—as its foundational pillars. Rather than offering fixed solutions, it provides a flexible framework designed to support educators and facilitators in evaluating and enhancing the inclusivity of their activities. Intended for both TinkerLib partners and the wider informal education community, this tool encourages ongoing co-creation with learners to ensure educational experiences are meaningful, accessible, and responsive to diverse needs.

Dissemination events
Dissemination events will serve as a platform to share and disseminate information, ideas and materials created during TinkerLib. They aim to reach a broader audience, raise awareness and engage a range of diverse stakeholders. Local dissemination events will take place in the summer 2025 in all partner countries:

• Austria, organized by SCN.
• France, organized by Traces.
• Italy, organized by MUST.
