Inclusion & Access in STEM through the integration of Arts and Culture STEAM as an equalizer IWD
On the Occassion of International Women's Day 2021, The Aspire Artemis Foundation and its partners and collaborators held a High Level event under the theme: "Creating Impact & Change Through Storytelling & The Application of Equalizing Technology: Remote learning & Community Storytelling for Underrepresented & Disadvantaged Groups.
A panel discussion on Inclusion and Access in the STEM field through integration of Arts and Culture; STEAM and Access to equalizing technologies was held.
Topic Frame: During this section on “access” our panel members will be asked to consider the effectiveness of current efforts, and examine the social paradigms that can inhibit, or encourage, equality and access. Beyond any structural or social impediments to improving gender equality in STEM, challenges may also remain when it comes to ensuring the quality and availability of training and skills development opportunities. Panel members will consider the challenges associated with technology skills transfers, either through integration into formal education channels or via informal extracurricular activities.
