On May 28 and 29, 2025, the second transnational meeting of partners of the European project “EITIC-EU – Fostering STEAM careers among schoolgirls through women role-models,” in which the EduQuest organization from Naoussa participates. The project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program, aims to promote gender equality in the field of technology and science by encouraging girls aged 10–16 to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics).
During the meeting, partners from Spain, Italy, Belgium, Romania, and Greece exchanged experiences and coordinated the next steps of the project, including the creation of educational material, the promotion of female role models in education, and the implementation of local educational interventions in schools.
EduQuest’s participation in the EITIC-EU project ensures that the voice of rural areas such as Naoussa is heard in the European dialogue on educational equality, strengthening the connection of local schools with innovative pedagogical practices. The local implementation of the project is carried out in collaboration with the Naoussa Robotics Academy.
