About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Working on the gender equality is the main goal of our group. For this aim, this social platform was established 6 years ago. All efforts are being carried out to support female teachers and ensure female students deal with science.To make this happen, we have been working all over the world.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

WST has organized some competitions for female teachers , their daughters and students for 4 years .WST has also organized some activities during the pandemic period(2020) for all teachers ,parents and students. ( https://womenscienceteachers.wixsite.com/europe ) . As being the first organization which organize such events ( for only female teachers and parents), we want to expand our activities to further support female teachers in the coming years. We also want to strengthen the girls' influence in science .Working as a pioneer for female teachers and schoolgirls, WST raises awareness of science and society.
In 7th November 2020 ,we celebrated "Women Teachers Day" , that day was also the birthday of Marie Curie who was furthermore a woman science teacher,too.We would like to see the 7th of November to be considered as the "World Women Teachers' Day".
