Connecting Girls to STEM Project Engages with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Brindisi
Brindisi,
September 8, 2023 – The Connecting Girls to STEM Project team held a study visit at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Brindisi. The pivotal gathering revolved around creating a symbiotic relationship between STEM education and environmental sustainability.

The visit was graced by teachers from esteemed institutions, including Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico “g. Giorgi” Brindisi, Hadiye Kuradaci Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi, Instituto De Enseñanza Secundaria Santa Lucía, and ILA. The primary focus of the discussions included:

– The paramount importance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
– The prospects of integrating digital tools in education emphasise their role as a sustainable solution.
– The untapped potential of sea waves as an alternative energy source.

The Connecting Girls to STEM project, renowned for its unwavering commitment to enhancing female students’ intrigue towards STEM education, consistently paves the path for young women to make informed career decisions in the STEM sector. One of the initiative’s cardinal aspects is bridging the gap between the current educational methodologies and the labour market demands. By introducing educators to advanced digital technologies and interdisciplinary learning paradigms, the project aims to reduce the prevalent skills gap significantly.

Today’s collaboration with WWF Brindisi further elucidates the project’s vision of amalgamating environmental awareness with STEM education. It’s an exciting leap forward, as the intertwining of these domains can only spell a brighter, more sustainable future for the world.
