Webinar – The importance of mentorship in supporting and challenging gender stereotypes
Within the framework of the STREAM IT project, we continue the webinar series of the National Inspirational Network – NIH. The second webinar, titled The importance of mentorship in supporting and challenging gender stereotypes, is intended for educational and research institutions (primary, secondary, and higher education), civil society organizations, and all girls and young women involved or interested in STE(A)M fields.
This webinar will focus on the power of mentorship as a tool for personal development, professional advancement, and addressing gender inequality. Particular attention will be paid to the experiences of female students and high school girls and the role of professors/teachers/mentors in encouraging and supporting them.
Additionally, the issue of involving youth in the fight against gender stereotypes will be raised, as well as the need for building a just and inclusive society. Positive examples and initiatives from education will be presented with the aim to motivate and encourage an active role of girls in STEAM education.

The Importance of Mentorship through Support and Breaking Gender Stereotypes
ST(R)E(A)M IT aims to initiate change about the persisting gender inequalities in STEM education, research, and innovation to contribute to the implementation of the ‘The European Manifesto for gender-inclusive STE(A)M education and careers.’ The project aims to overcome the barriers and challenges faced by underrepresented groups in STEM. It focuses on developing innovative, gender- and diversity-inclusive tools for educating young people, particularly young girls. Additionally, the project seeks to mobilize stakeholders from various sectors of STEM education and the R&I ecosystem to create sustainable networks that provide ongoing support to STEM education providers.
