Mind the Stem Gap is Fondazione Bracco’s Manifesto in support of access to STEM disciplines for women, overcoming gender stereotypes. Read, share and sign the Mind the STEM Gap Manifesto!
It is still difficult for women to access the world of the sciences because of gender bias and stereotypes.
For this reason Fondazione Bracco proposes a Manifestoto be signed, shared and promoted to overcome gender stereotypes and facilitate access to the scientific disciplines for girls.
Mind the Stem Gap aims to:
- Overcome gender disparity in the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
- Promote more inclusive education for girls, free of stereotypes and prejudices
- Support the community of educators, at home and at school.
- Increase awareness of women's contributions to scientific disciplines
It highlights key points relating to fundamental aspects of a person’s development: language, cultural stereotypes, role models, games and cognitive development, access to knowledge and ongoing education.
The Manifesto is available in three different versions:
- for Girls [e i ragazzi]- presented on February 11 2022, on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, in a International Conference hosted by Expo Dubai 2020
- the Manifesto at home
- the Manifesto at school
The Manifesto is intended in fact not only for girls and boys, but for everyone in the educational community, including parents and teachers. As well as aunts and uncles, friends, grandparents and siblings.
Mind the Stem Gap is a participatory project. Every one of us can promote change, in our own way.
Signing the Mind the Stem Gap Manifesto testifies to your awareness of this important issue which has an impact on the progress of science, and therefore on our future.
