PRIORITISING EDUCATION: EMPOWERING WOMEN AND GIRLS
As we meet this month and next to define our UK Program Action for 2023/2024, enabling the education of girls in STEM subjects is high on the agenda. We are seeking women with experience and an interest in STEM education to help us with project definition and even a local partnership. If you’d like to contribute time or expertise and influence our project work Soroptimists in Elmbridge would love to hear from you, contact Ann (SIWAD Communications Officer) at annmaloneyuk@gmail.com initially.
On 24 January 2023, Soroptimist International (SI) hosted a webinar to celebrate International Day of Education by showcasing our Federation’s important education projects from around the globe. The webinar was exceptionally well attended, seeing hundreds of members from over 30 different countries joining! Maureen Maguire Federation President led the seminar; each Soroptimist Federation President illustrated how their Federation is striving to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals 4 & 5, Quality Education and Gender Equality.
Take a break and watch it in your lunch hour to hear the sobering facts and inspiring news about the impact soroptimists are having around the world.
