Girls Go Circular

Girls Go Circular is an  educational initiative  led by the  European Institute of Innovation and Technology Community , and supported by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture of the European Commission. Our mission is to equip students, particularly young women, with  digital and entrepreneurial skills  through the  Circular Learning Space , an online platform offering courses on circular economy. Girls Go Circular focuses on closing the gender gap in STEM by providing interactive, challenge-based learning experiences. We believe that accessible education is key to driving gender equality in STEM. Present in more than 30 countries and offering a variety of courses translated in 24 languages , since its inception in 2020 Girls Go Circular has already trained more than 65,000 girls all over Europe and 80,000+ students in total. Besides the learning programme, our initiative offers another exciting opportunity for schoolgirls. Every year, we organise our flagship event, the  Women & Girls in STEM Forum , and as part of it, we have launch a student challenge. We invite teams of girls aged 14–19 to develop creative ideas addressing real-world issues. The best team from each country attend the Forum and compete internationally, with the top 3 teams pitching live on stage. Starting from September 2025, the initiative will launch courses for teachers on topics such as AI, entrepreneurship, Intellectual Property and mininformation.
