Partners of the HER TECH project met in Kouvola, Finland, for a day dedicated to collaboration, knowledge exchange, and exploring new opportunities to support girls’ engagement in ICT and technology.
The programme included a workshop within Engagement Strategies and Learning Approaches, where partners worked together on activities aimed at better understanding how to create more inclusive and engaging informatics education.
Participants also had the opportunity to discover the work of Meduusa Studios, including an inspiring case from the Poikilo Museum, showing how creative technologies and digital storytelling can support cultural and educational innovation.
The day continued with a session connecting the project with Xamk Game Design students, creating a space to discuss how HER TECH ideas and results can reach and inspire the next generation of digital creators.
In the afternoon, partners visited the Synergia Center, a co-working and innovation hub where Xamk researchers and stakeholders collaborate on current R&D projects, offering valuable insights into ongoing initiatives and possibilities for future cooperation.
A productive and inspiring day demonstrating how research, creativity and education can come together to shape more inclusive digital futures.
