Community of Practice

A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share common interests in a specific domain and come together to share common knowledge and skills. The Steamy Wonders Community of Practice was established with the goal of engaging women in a collective learning process in which each can learn from each other’s knowledge and experiences and support each other through networking and collaborative work in relation to the shared domain of interest and related topics: examining the barriers and discrimination that many women face in STEAM sectors and finding ways to build their competence and condifence in pursuing a career in science.

Women and Girls In STEAM
The Women and girls in STEAM Forum promotes the voice of girls and women working or aiming to work in the scientific, creative and cultural sectors, and their contribution in influencing policy development and encouraging change at local, national and European level. The forum acts as a platform in which women from all over Europe can create new connections and get support and inspiration from each other.
