The programme was held in light of International STEM Day, and was made possible through collaboration among the Ministries of Education, Public Infrastructure and the European Union (EU) Delegation to Guyana.The project ‘Women in Engineering and Technology Awareness campaign’ which included the three year #GyGirlPower campaign was funded by the European Union as part of the gender approach in the Integrated Coastal Zone Management project (ICZM). Women in Engineering and Technology Awareness’ project is geared towards promoting women in Disaster Risk Management (DRM). The forum also showcased Guyanese women influential in STEM fields as positive role models for girls.
