(STEAM coaching to counteract women´s underrepresentation in STEM-related TVET careers and professions.)

STEAM COACH is a project aimed at promoting gender equality in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) by developing an inclusive coaching methodology and a resource toolkit designed to empower women in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Through practical tools, a multilingual learning hub, and professional development programs, the project seeks to create more diverse and inclusive educational and professional environments, encouraging women’s participation in traditionally male-dominated fields.

  3. Establishment of a multilingual learning hub: A digital platform accessible in multiple European languages, offering inclusive educational tools and resources.
  4. Continuous Professional Development Program (CPDP): Specific training modules for organizational leaders focused on fostering diverse and inclusive environments.
  5. Validation of methodology and resources: Through expert consultations, capacity-building events, and pilots, the project will refine its proposals to ensure effectiveness and applicability.
  6. Increased participation of women in STEAM: Reducing gender gaps by providing practical tools and strengthening skills for women.
  7. Long-term impact: Establishment of collaborative networks to ensure the sustainability of results and the adoption of inclusive practices in education and industry.
