Empower Girls to Embrace their Digital and Entrepreneurial Potential (GEM)
The project Empower Girls to Embrace their Digital and Entrepreneurial Potential (GEM), is a European Union co-funded pilot project running from 2020 to 2022. GEM aims at encouraging girls’ interest in STEM and ICT subjects and inspiring them to choose careers and become entrepreneurs in these fields. To achieve this aim, the project consortium will organize cost-free summer camps for girls and establish a wide reaching network of schools, higher education institutions, companies and policy makers, thus supporting girls in pursuing these careers.
The summer camps are expected to inspire girls and offer them the opportunity to enjoy STEM and do STEM-related activities in an inclusive social community. We seek to create a space where girls learn about, from and for STEM and each other and take positive experiences home.
