Girls'Day and Boys'Day

Engineering is for men and healthcare for women....... A misconception that is unfortunately still common. At our school we have participated in Girls' Day for several years now. A day when companies open their doors to introduce our girls to technology. This year they visited Brainport Industries Campus.

Loes Bijnnen, Zorg & Welzijn teacher, thought this was a great opportunity to introduce boys to healthcare that same day. The boys followed several workshops in the morning, given by male caregivers. Then they visited different care locations in the region.

It was a great success that did not go unnoticed by the media, various trade organizations and even Minister Dijkgraaf.
