GAMI - Grupo Afirmativo de Mulheres Independentes do Rio Grande do Norte is one of the 10 grantees by the ELAS Fund through ELAS nas Exatas, our partnership with the Unibanco Institute and the Carlos Chagas Foundation. With the project "Turning the tables", they are developing an intense agenda at the Paulo Pinheiro State School, in the northern zone of Natal, in Rio de Grande do Norte.
The aim of the project is to create spaces for reflection and discussion on the subject of education, professionalization and youth, stimulating the critical sense of young women in order to help reduce gender inequalities. It also aims to encourage female students to take part in the Rio Grande do Norte Science and Technology Week and to strengthen the school's science fair with the participation of female students.
Preparatory classes for the Mathematical Olympiad and workshops on Telecommunications Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, in which the students were able to get in touch with professional women in these fields, were some of the activities that have already taken place.
