Students Represent Junior Achievement Cyprus at “Women in Science” Discussion

On Tuesday, 24th Feb, our school students, Aanvi Tandon & Sophia Cagnetti, were invited to represent Junior Achievement Cyprus at a discussion hosted by the Commissioner of Gender Equality, Ms Josie Christodoulou. The topic of discussion was “Women in Science – when equality boosts innovation”.

The event was attended by leading Women in STEM, in Cyprus. The students effectively voiced their perspectives and emphasised the importance of Cultural shift and Community support in bridging the gender gap when it comes to STEM education. They also talked about the role models who have helped them dream bigger and move forward with confidence.

Both girls have been given an offer to do job shadowing for a day with the commissioner during the summer break.

The students were accompanied by Antigoni Komodiki, CEO JA Cyprus and Ms Richa Tandon, during the event and the discussion.
