Packing your bags and flying to new places to discover is always a life-changing experience, a time to create unforgettable memories, make special friends and grow into a better version of ourselves. The Summer School for Female Leadership in the Digital Age offers the “premium version” of all this. Inspiring panels and debates, enriching workshops, a safe space where everyone is welcomed, listened and valued, exclusive field trips and most importantly culture exchange with incredible people in wonderful venues: this is what I got in Lisbon and what I encourage everybody to apply for. I feel like every part of me was deeply reshaped by this experience. Being a Political Science, International Relations and Human Rights student, this academy was perfect not only to train my ambassadorship and leadership skills which I need for my future career, but also to start extending my knowledge to the tech field and understand the connections existing between the digital world and the social challenges we face nowadays, as well as politics and rights. Being a young woman, it also was a great context to challenge myself and mature in the process, going back home with new tools to change the world into a fairer one, which has always been an ambitious dream of mine that thanks to this summer school is already coming true. I travelled over 2000 kilometres to meet myself, the leader in me and the best European minds and souls. I would love to do it all over again.
