The Schools for Female Leadership in the Digital Age are a part of our broader educational initiative, Seeds for the Future. They represent Huawei's commitment to advancing digital inclusion and closing the gender gap to create a world where women are empowered to lead.
The third edition of the Summer School for Female Leadership in the Digital Age took place in Valencia, Spain. Participants experienced a week that they will never forget. A week where they learned new skills, explored new experiences and met global experts that imparted their knowledge, and challenged our students to think big. The 29 young women had the chance to exchange ideas with thought leaders, CEOs and policymakers from across Europe and beyond. The series of masterclasses, panel discussions and deep dive sessions inspired them to not just embrace the digital era, but to lead it. The programme addressed a wide array of subjects from leadership and public speaking through to sustainability and coding. It gave students the opportunity to learn from female leaders already playing their part in building a sustainable and inclusive digital society. Participants were equipped with the tools to lead and underwent a personal journey that built both their knowledge and their confidence.
