and support new role models for female technicians

Supported by the European Commission in the Socrates/Grundtvig Program

Changing teacher‘s habit?

1. Involve the director & the inspector of the school2. Sensitise the perception of the teacher

Explain the aim of the project and show the need to raise the number of girls in the school

Let them imagine to be a girl and identify the hurdles Speak about concrete situations and concrete fears

3. Help them to find their own solutions Imagine concrete situations Think about the consequences of concrete solutions Let them elaborate the costs, the resources and the

outcomes of the potential solution

“Golden rules”

1. Go: top down, involve the top.

Even if you are using a bottom-up approach.

2. Use participatory methods to identify pitfalls.

... and let everybody experience it!

3. Enable tailored solutions:

By the target groups themselves.
