Despite growing commitments to equity, Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems across Europe continue to reproduce gendered inequalities, rooted in cultural expectations and institutional design.

📄 A new article by Andrea Lupi explores how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can drive structural change by addressing learner diversity and dismantling gendered barriers in VET.

💡 Featuring a practical UDL-informed module in mechatronics, the article proposes a 3-pillar strategy:
1️⃣ Raising awareness
2️⃣ Presenting evidence
3️⃣ Promoting good practices

🗓️ This work was developed for the EXCEED event:
“The Twin Transition: What new professional opportunities for Girls and Women in Advanced Manufacturing?” (June 26, 2025, online)
