Inspirations in Poland
We love to learn, even more if it involves getting to know new places and people – this time we were exploring similar organisations in the capital of Poland with an Erasmus grant. In the third week of June, members of our team visited Warsaw, Poland, where they met with the organisation Cyfrowy Dialog and visited the Women in Tech 2024 Summit.
Woman in IT 2024: Nominations for the new prestigious award are published
We are changing the country for the better and that’s why we came up with another project – the 1st Women in IT Award. Its aim is to deepen the idea of women entering IT and supporting them in this sector. At the same time, we want to express public recognition and thanks to all those who help this idea in Slovakia.
Dutch inspirations vol. 2
At the beginning of the summer, as part of our internal Erasmus learning and inspiration-seeking, we went to the Netherlands, where we first visited the big European Women in Technology conference in Amsterdam and then met with representatives of Stichting Netwerkpro, an association that, like us, focuses on women’s education.
In Denmark we discussed the importance of mentoring
We didn’t take a break from networking abroad and gaining new experiences even at the end of the summer. In August, part of our team visited Denmark, a popular Nordic country for Slovaks.
