KNOWLEDGE HELPS SURVIVE HARDSHIPS
Speaking to the students in the event, Ms. Pelin Rodoplu, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Portfolio Manager of UNDP Turkey said they were happy to support both gender equality and sustainable growth through “Turkey’s Engineer Girls” project. Ms. Rodoplu further elaborated that “While this project touches your lives, we also prepare a more egalitarian working environment at national level in the sectors where you will work. We recommend that you equip yourselves professionally as well as take social responsibility as a part of your lives as this programme expects you to do so in your endeavour of getting ready for life. Make learning and continuous sharing your fundamental principle. Never forget that knowledge grows as it is shared, and knowledge helps people survive hardships.”
Turkey’s Engineer Girls project is jointly implemented by Limak Foundation, Ministry of Family and Social Policies and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
