STEM for ALL – STEFORA is a result of the STINT project (2020-2022) funded by the Swedish Government, where diversity and gender equality are identified as topics of interest aiming at sharing knowledge and experiences in terms of frameworks and empirical studies to investigate Generation Z’s enrolment and involvement in the development of STEM. The STINT project was designed by LNU and RIT (AUK), for starting a long-term collaboration in academic development with RIT (AUK) and with other HEIs in Kosovo and the region, for supporting internationalization and enhancement of HEIs’ STEM capacities. Part of the core activities of the project are designed to address the findings of self-assessments and strategic meetings between LNU and beneficiary HEIs in Kosovo and Albania from December, 2021. The other focus is to take advantage of the Committee for Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) Study produced by the European Parliament. As such, STEFORA’s is designed with a holistic approach around three wide/general project objectives: (1) digital citizenship focusing on mitigating institutional barriers, (2) apply universal design principles in formal and non-formal learning activities including premises, and (3) adopt norm critical approaches to raise cultural awareness and foster gender sensitive education, in the target countries specific to STEM engagement for women.

 

The consortium is set up by six partners, two from Kosovo, two from Albania, and two from program countries, namely Ireland and Sweden. HEI partners were selected on the basis of their expertise and experience related to the project. The project is led by RIT Kosovo and implemented by the following partners: Linnaeus University, Sweden; International Business College Mitrovica, Kosovo; Maynooth University, Ireland; Polis University, Albania; European University of Tirana, Albania.

 

This project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme CBHE.
