The International Day of the Girl Child is celebrated on October 11 with the launch of the 6th edition of the programme Engineers for a Day, on the theme “Shaping The Digital Future: International Day of the Girl Child” starting at 9:30 am at the Romeu Correia Municipal Forum (in Almada) which will also be broadcast online.
“Engineers for a Day” is a government programme coordinated by INCoDe.2030 and the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality and its mission is to promote, among students with a low level of education, the option to study engineering and technology, deconstructing the idea that these are male domains.
Since its creation in 2017, it has already reached 12.554 young teens from primary and secondary education, through practical laboratory activities, role model sessions and mentoring. This programme is also included in the National Strategy for Equality and Non-Discrimination – Portugal More Equal.
