Innovative approaches to employability, sustainable competitiveness, and female resilience among young women in danger of marginalization

The STEMazing Women project addresses young people’s empowerment and employability, having as a target group marginalized young women (18-25), who will experience the benefits of learning and using STEM-as-a-life-skill. The STEMAzing Women project promotes youth employability and gender equality, further contributing to the labor market and social inclusion. This project aspires not only to boost the employability of the young women in danger of marginalization, but also to assist them in breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and the persisting stereotypical societal roles which regard STEM as a mainly male dominated work sector.

The main goal of the STEMAzing project is to empower youth and promote employability, which is crucial for the future of the European Union. This way, STEMAzing focuses on young women from disadvantaged groups and employs STEM as a life skill with a set of clearly defined objectives, such as:

• O1 Empower socially excluded young women through STEM as a life skill
• O2 Increase their chances of employability
• O3 Create agents of change
• O4 Produce a replicable and sustainable model to ensure gender equality and youth employability
