Girls in Forestry
Girls in Forestry is an initiative developed to encourage middle and high school girls
to continue their studies and plan for a future career in forestry.
The project includes activities with a general focus, developed to help students
transitioning from one stage of education to another strengthen their positive
attitude towards education and their future, as well as activities developed
specifically to cultivate girls’ interest in forestry and to encourage them to pursue
careers generally accepted as preferred by boys.
The project is developed according to the Inspire, Prepare, Succeed strategy and
includes:
•
classroom activities and training sessions for personal skills assessment and
building a personal portfolio;
•
interactions with volunteers through which students develop a clearer picture
of forestry specific jobs;
•
Job Shadow type interactions through which students spend a few hours in the
“shadow” of a professional.
