Volunteers needed
Django Girls is back in Geneva! "Django Girls" is a free two days programming workshop that allows participants to discover web technologies by becoming familiar with HTML, Python and Django in a friendly and approachable setting. "Django Girls" workshops have already been attended by 22433 women in 562 cities across the world.
Geneva SDG Solution Space (https://sdgsolutionspace.org/) is offering to host the in-person event at their premises on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd October 2022.
We are looking for volunteer coaches, preferably with familiarity with Web technologies (but it is also a great occasion to learn new skills, as training is provided), to help our participants work their way through the material.
If interested, please contact [email protected]

WIT organise un atelier de programmation pour jeunes filles âgées de 11 à 14 ans. Pour participer il faut une bonne maitrise de français et être une femme (normalement ce-ci n’est pas une condition pour les événements WIT mais cette fois c’est une condition de l’évènement en general, nous sommes désolée!).
