She Can Exhibition

She Can Exhibition

She believes she can, so she does!

Experiences touch our hearts, shape our perspectives and ignite our inspirations.

Positive ones tend to unlock the potential for personal growth and societal change.

A significant step in Malta’s STEM pathways has been the island’s recent recognition as the first World Capital for Women and Girls in Science (Royal Academy of Science International Trust), an international achievement which was catalytic of the need for bigger spaces of dialogue about the potential of young females with an analytical mind and a vivid sense of curiosity.

This is the idea behind She Can – to offer a showcase of role models who are challenging gender stereotypes and traditional roles while strengthening the support system for girls who wish to pursue a career in the Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics fields.

The She Can Exhibition, taking place in January 2024, is a ground-breaking gathering of 26 inspiring women in Malta, who have made remarkable contributions to the health and well-being, sustainability, digital technologies, smart solutions and marine and maritime sectors, and who can fuel girls with inspiration to take on STEM careers.

Who is this Exhibition aimed at?

Just like each of these women has pursued their dreams and excelled in their careers despite various challenges, this exhibition will, through their presence and opportunity for dialogue, empower girls of secondary school age to set out on their journey towards their own STEM achievements.

This Exhibition is also aimed at raising awareness among citizens about gender stereotypes and how to possibly overcome them.

Why Attend?

The She Can Exhibition is adopting a great focus on connections – between today’s and tomorrow’s STEM trendsetters, and between women of specialised knowledge on STEM topics, with tools to help those with the desire to know more and reach their potential and meet the role models they aspire to become.
