In the Tour des Frances des Initiatives today, Evan Adelinet highlights the association “They move”. Women committed throughout France to encourage middle school and high school girls to believe in their dreams, and dare to move towards the engineering professions, often occupied by men. They target sectors in particular such as industry and aeronautics, where only 23% of technical or engineering positions are held by women. In general, the association works with young girls to encourage careers in science. To bring a godmother to an event or to a class, the contacts can be found on Ellesbougent.com. For secondary school girls, the association collects offers of 3rd year internships. It’s all on their website. A very useful tool for those who dream of a scientific profession but who do not have the chance to know someone in the field. 1100 colleges and high schools are already partners of the association.
