    Objective: There exists another Europe, one that is invisible unless you are a part of it, and even then, you can see only as far as your connections go. This is the world of European Art and Culture: the world of hidden bookshops, tailors, ateliers and galleries, back-alley concerts and café reading groups, of Indie publishing houses and labels, community contests and art residencies in old cottages, factories, and castles. 

    Many of these enterprises struggle to keep their head above water as digitalisation marches ahead, due to large business conglomerates with extensive web presences, even locals are at times unaware of the rich world of European art and culture that lies at their doorstep. The Project wants to open that door and to make visible, tangible, and interactive the many nodes of creativity that stretch throughout Europe. And will populate the cultural and artistic digital ecosystem of Europe and open it up to the public.

    Keywords: Boosting gender balance in ICT

    Objective: The project aims to promote female empowerment through digital skills development and the challenging of gender stereotypes, fostering a more inclusive and diverse ICT learning environment. The project promotes the empowerment of females with digital skills and challenges gender stereotypes, thereby creating a more inclusive and diverse ICT learning and teaching ethic for the digital age. A broad but particular research will be conducted, characterized by each territory’s essentials, this research study aims to reshape learning paradigms by emphasizing the need for inclusive digital education, identifying the underrepresentation of girls in ICT studies and professions across Europe and Turkey, and implementing comprehensive policy interventions. 

    Additionally, it seeks to design a teaching framework and policy intervention that foster gender balance in pursuing ICT fields. One of the main aspects is to validate and implement a robust pedagogical model on the topic that can be applied among young people in schools and outside of schools, and that can be widely integrated into standard curricula as well as into non-formal groups, across Europe and Turkey.

    Youth and academic personnel play fundamental roles in making educational changes and having a long-term impact on each participant’s individual life. It is necessary to promote female participation in digital education and transformation for their lifelong decision-making phases regarding the future. The project involves primary and secondary education, including students, headteachers, teachers, parents, educators, and academic personnel, endeavoring to achieve a great positive impact on digital confidence in youth and particularly in females. The project aims to empower skills and self-efficacy in digital, raise awareness, and develop knowledge about the gender gap in the ICT field, promote the usage of digital for education and professional purposes by creating and implementing digital policies and strategies.
