Martina Hlavatá

Student. Represented Slovakia at the 2021 Summer School in Lisbon

Honestly, I am l truly honoured yet humbled for being given a chance to proudly represent my beloved country and to network with inspiring speakers and intelligent smart young women from all over around Europe, who not only quickly became my friends but we have also created an amazing community. The community which is full of love, constant support and mutual respect. We have created a safe place where you can be yourself and learn how to be a good and compassionate female leader this digital era needs.
In case you consider applying for this programme, my suggestion is simple - just GO for it! If you are passionate about helping others and leaving no one behind, have a willingness to learn and desire to meet other like-minded peers, then you can be the one to learn from the best and to increase the percentage of women in this digital age.
I actually wish I were given this chance again so that I could reapply and press rewind to all of those beautiful memorable moments we had in mesmerising Lisbon.
I will be forever grateful for this opportunity, for having a chance to meet so many incredible female leaders who are an excellent example of the fact that women should definitely stop competing with each other because as they say 'when women support each other, incredible things happen'. And only then we can create better tomorrows and ensure sustainable future.
