Student. Represented the Netherlands at the 2021 Summer School in LisbonThe summer school was truly one of the most incredible experiences in my life. I met many inspiring women (and men) that already made their way in tech, politics, media or other areas and until this day I still use all the advice they gave. It was also incredible to meet the other 26 likeminded participants. We all encouraged and learned a lot from each other. Even after the summer school, I know that we will always be there to support each other. All in all, I grew a lot both personally and professionally through this experience. Besides of that it was an incredibly fun week talking about subjects that really matter to me, namely tech and equality while also having nice dinners, sightseeing Lisbon and singing Mamma Mia songs in a beautiful vineyard. So, if this all sounds good to you, take action and apply. We can’t change the world by just thinking and dreaming. We need to take action.
