Amy Calleja

Student. Represented Malta at the 2022 Summer School in Prague

I knew that the Summer School for Female Leadership in the Digital Age was going to be an incredible experience but I didn't expect it to be life-changing! With a jam-packed week full of both interesting and challenging discussions, panels, masterclasses & workshops, I left each day feeling inspired and invigorated. Each and every speaker created a safe space for all of us and apart from sharing their knowledge and experiences, were all ready to listen to us and support us. I had never had such an opportunity to expand my network as I did in Prague which has already proved immensely helpful. Although I was initially unsure of applying and my place within the academy, I left Prague with 28 incredible new friends, a network that had tripled in size, newly found confidence, improved public speaking skills and an experience that will last a lifetime! I would encourage any young woman interested to apply regardless of your background and experiences - the European Leadership Academy provides an environment for all young women to thrive in.
