The EMPOWER project addresses the persistent gender gap in ICT by targeting root causes such as stereotypes, lack of role models, and gender-insensitive teaching practices. Despite growing female participation in ICT, women remain underrepresented. EMPOWER introduces two core interventions: gender diversity training for teachers and role model presentations by female ICT professionals. These aim to foster inclusive classroom environments and inspire girls to pursue tech careers. By integrating policy and practice, piloting inclusive strategies, and involving national authorities, the project supports EU priorities on gender equality, digital education, and the development of sustainable, gender-responsive educational frameworks across partner countries.
