Project Summary

The problem of the gender gap in the field of technology is a big concern in many countries, so as at European level, where women still are a minor percentage
of the workforce.
This negative trend could continue in the coming years and girls are among the targets mainly at risk to lose the thousands of job opportunities that the tech industry will continue to offer, in addition to risk the “digital exclusion” and the loss of all the other benefits which derive from acquiring coding and digital skills.
Through the exchange and promotion of good practices, the Strategic Partnership “GITEC” aims to increase the participation of girls in the technology sector, by improving the skills of the youth workers and the consequent educational offer, targeting girls, and aimed at increasing their technological and digital skills.
The partners, coming from Italy, Romania, Poland and Estonia, will share their good practices, in order to increase the girls’ interest in technology with a multidisciplinary and original approach.
The project includes two stages of learning, focused on modules learned through an online platform, and a phase of local events aimed at applying the good practices learned.
The expected results include: multimedia educational modules, a compendium of good practices, a new educational format, communication and dissemination materials for the different project targets.
