International Day of Women and Girls in Science is on February 11th. The gender gap in STEM fields is especially prominent. Empowering more young women with critical STEM skills, along with global competence, is essential if we want to create a more sustainable and equitable future. Through our groundbreaking Global STEM Changemakers Initiative, funded by bp, AFS is providing young women and girls with full-scholarship opportunities to engage in STEM and sustainability education, social innovation, and global competence development to create positive social impact. We already reached 1,250 young women from 94 countries, and we aim to provide scholarships to at least another 2,300 women and girls worldwide over the next three years. https://lnkd.in/gwS39TkZ #February11 #WomeninScience #STEM #globalcitizenship #AFSeffect

International Day of Women and Girls in Science // 11 Feb 2024 👩🔬👩🚀👩💻👩🔧 A recent study by LinkedIn and the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2023 highlights the exclusion of women from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workplaces. The most significant decline in female representation occurs between graduation and entry into the workforce. The under representation of women in STEM education, professions, and leadership roles is not just a setback for females; it also represents missed opportunities for communities and nations to discover sustainable solutions to shared challenges. In line with International Day of Women and Girls in Science and stemming from our core values, TÜV SÜD and @TÜV SÜD Stiftung passionately advocates STEM education for all regardless of gender. TÜV SÜD Stiftung actively does sponsorship projects within kindergartens, schools, universities and more. Learn more about these projects here: https://lnkd.in/e4Fc_q5r At TÜV SÜD, our culture also actively encourages women to take on leadership roles within the organization.

🚀 Exciting Progress in the STEMazing project! Today’s online meeting marked a significant milestone for the STEMazing project as we discussed the finalization of our comprehensive Training Curriculum. Our curriculum aims to empower young women facing marginalization with STEM skills that are critical for today's job market. Here are the key components: 1. Introduction to STEM and Life Skills 2. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving in STEM 3. Practical Applications of STEM 4. Communication and Collaboration in STEM 5. Empowerment through STEM and Future Opportunities STEMAzing's goal is to address unemployment and gender inequality among young women from remote, low socio-economic backgrounds. By leveraging STEM as a life skill, we are creating pathways to employment and empowerment. Our Goals: Equip young women with essential skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Encourage and support women in pursuing STEM education and careers. Enhance employability and integration through cross-sectoral cooperation. Develop change agents who will multiply knowledge within their communities. Promote inclusiveness, accessibility, and gender equality in STEM fields. Target Groups: Young women (18-25) at risk of marginalization, particularly from rural areas in Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Greece. VET professionals, mentors, and career counsellors. Indirect Beneficiaries: Women’s organizations, families, and communities. Employers seeking a diverse and skilled workforce. Society at large, benefiting from innovation, economic growth, and social equity. By reaching women with tailored training and mentorship, STEMAzing is paving the way for a more inclusive and skilled workforce. Our innovative approach addresses immediate employment needs and sets the stage for sustainable social change. Stay tuned as we continue to drive this transformative journey forward. Together, we are making a difference! #ErasmusPlus #Erasmusplusproject #EuropeanCommission #STEMazingWomen #STEM #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Empowerment #Skills #Leadership #Career #EqualOpportunitiesForAll #Youth

I consider myself lucky to have grown up in a society where girls were motivated to pursue STEM education. Surprisingly, this isn't the case in many developed nations. It's important to understand why girls in these regions aren't motivated to take up STEM subjects. It's not just about access to education but goes beyond that. Let's work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for girls in STEM. #STEMeducation #girlsinSTEM #inclusivity

This Women's History Month, we spotlight the persistent gender gap in STEM education—a critical barrier to innovation and sustainability. Despite more women pursuing higher education, a significant imbalance persists: UNESCO reports less than 20% of engineering students and fewer than 30% of computer science students are women. At Striving For All, we're not just raising awareness but forging paths for change. We're developing partnerships with entities across governments, businesses, and nonprofits. These collaborations aim to ignite girls' passion for STEM and dismantle the systemic barriers in their educational journey. Your support is more crucial than ever as we expand our reach and impact. Join us on this transformative journey at https://lnkd.in/ePqEqzJb Together, we can pave the way for a more equitable future in STEM. #EducationForAll #STEMforGirls #GenderEquality #WomensHistoryMonth
