The learning programme
In 2021, 12,000 Schoolgirls aged 14-18 will participate in an online training, encompassing individual work as well as group activities and leadership challenges. The students will not only use digital media as a platform to study, work and develop ideas, but also as a means to train their leadership skills. Themes like food, fashion and the use and disposal of technological appliances will be the cornerstones of this learning, empowering girls to become part of the solution to the current sustainability challenge. Compatibly with the limitations imposed by the current situation with COVID-19, face-to-face workshops will be organised to support the online learning with in-person activities.
How to participate in the project
Every school in the targeted countries (Southern and Eastern European countries, full list here) can participate in the learning programme, every student can access the platform and start learning!
The project targets primarily girls but it is open to every student.
If you are a school head, a teacher, or a student and you would like to participate in the project, contact us at girlsgocircular@eitrawmaterials.eu.
