VHTO

VHTO aims to increase the participation of women and girls in STEM. With our projects and methodology, VHTO contributes to breaking (implicit) stereotypes concerning gender & STEM, and to increasing the growth mindset and self-confidence of girls and young women regarding STEM subjects. VHTO uses research-based interventions that have proven successful in previous years, and developed them into a strong combination of activities for girls and women throughout the entire chain of education (from primary to higher and vocational education), training programmes for teachers and career advisers, and consultations with school/education managers. At present, VHTO is one of the leading expert organizations on gender & STEM in the Netherlands.
