The event “Breaking the glass ceiling” in the context of the European project “Female Empowerment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in Higher Education (FeSTEM)” was held with great success on Thursday, June 2, 2022 at the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol. The aim of the event was to disseminate all the project’s final results and outcomes to the target audience in Cyprus, as well as to highlight the valuable benefits of the FeSTEM CoP as a place to connect, discuss and access services and learning material.
Of paramount importance was the presentation of Anna Aristotelous, Director of the Central Prisons Department, who set the example of the Central Prison’s Department as an example of courageous leadership, which managed to overcome obstacles and difficulties by adopting a human-centered approach and following culturally and gender-sensitive principles. The event indicated the successful completion of the project. Its main results are available on the project website: https://festemproject.eu/
