“ROLE MODEL MEETINGS”
IN THE SCOPE OF TURKEY’S ENGINEER GIRLS PROJECT
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
HAVE STARTED
Turkey’s Engineer Girls (TEG) Project has been conducted in collaboration with Ministry of Family and Social Policy, Ministry of Education, Limak Foundation and United Nations Development Program (UNDP). To take the impacts of the project to bigger populations, as a part of TEG Project High School Program, “Role Model Meetings” have been established in 48 pilot high schools in 10 different cities.
Volunteer women engineers were assigned as role models to pilot high schools to discuss about what is engineering, its benefits and costs, and their own professional experiences in the field. Until now, in total, 48 high schools in Ankara, Antalya, Hatay and Istanbul were visited.
