On June 9 and 10, EduQuest traveled to the city of Focșani, Romania, to participate in a meeting of the European EITIC-EU project, which has been active since 2025. The meeting took place at the “Edmond Nicolau” Technical College with the project’s five partner organizations (schools and institutions) from Greece, Italy, Spain, Romania, and Belgium.
The meeting discussed the activities carried out so far in the five countries by the partner organizations, which include student training sessions, idea contests for teenagers, the production of educational materials, and other related activities. For Greece, EduQuest highlighted the ideas developed by participating students during the ideas competition in Naoussa, showcasing ways in which technology can contribute to their local community.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the partner organizations from the five countries committed to providing all the educational materials produced as part of the project free of charge, so that every school and every teacher in Europe can make use of them in their respective regions.
The European initiative EITIC-EU aims to inspire and educate students, especially girls aged 10–16, about the importance of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM). By highlighting female role models and creating innovative educational resources, the initiative aims to promote equality, challenge stereotypes, and empower young girls to forge their own paths in STEAM fields.
