The second co-creation webinar of the pICTureURpath project took place online on 7 May 2026 under the title <\/span>\u201cTogether for Girls in ICT: Transforming Ideas into Practice.\u201d<\/span><\/i> Building on the findings and discussions of the first webinar, the event brought together educators, researchers, ICT professionals, policymakers, parents, and other stakeholders to collaboratively explore practical actions that can support girls\u2019 participation in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

From Evidence to Action<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The webinar began with a presentation of key findings from the project\u2019s research activities, focusing on the factors and stereotypes that influence girls\u2019 educational and career choices in ICT. Through a series of <\/span>infographics<\/span><\/a> and an <\/span>interactive poll<\/span> , participants reflected on the perceptions of different stakeholder groups and the challenges that continue to limit girls\u2019 engagement with technology-related studies and professions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A brief overview of the results from the first co-creation webinar was also presented, providing the basis for a more action-oriented discussion aimed at transforming identified challenges into concrete solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Collaborative Discussions and Exchange of Practices<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Participants worked in breakout groups to discuss successful practices, persistent barriers, and opportunities for intervention. Several key themes emerged across the discussions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Each group worked under a specific thematic area. The thematic areas were as follows: <\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
