Community Voices: The Heart of Women Go Tech

At Women Go Tech, we believe in the power of community. Our nomination for the European Digital Skills Awards 2024 is a testament to the incredible women who make up our network. Here are some of their stories:

Kamila’s Journey: “I recently completed a mentoring program where I realized that webinars and working with a mentor are of immense value. However, the community is equally important. I knew that here I also wanted to meet people who are on a similar path as me to share and learn from them.”

Justyna’s Insight: “For me, curiosity is what pushes me to interact with others. Also, in this case, I find it somehow comforting seeing that it’s not only me who is struggling with career progression.”

Izabela’s Experience: “While applying to Women Go Tech, I expected a community, and I got one! As I was hoping for it, I needed only a small hint to jump in.”

Dominika’s Belief: “I believe in the power of women’s circles, so it was obvious to me that I want to be part of the Women Go Tech local community. I was not disappointed. We share a common goal, so we can find understanding, enhancement for development, and a kind word here.”

Justyna: “It is okay to feel overwhelmed or baffled; this program is a safe space where you can exercise new skills.”

Izabela: “There are lots of interesting women out there. You can share experiences and information, hear each other’s stories, and have a good laugh together. For sure, there is somebody waiting for you to start.”

Kamila: “I’ll repeat myself: webinars and working with a mentor are of immense value. However, the community is equally important. You can learn from each other and support each other (through conversation, but also by recommending courses, etc.). I highly recommend it!”

Thank you, partners, friends, and the entire community, for being part of our journey! Together, we are making a real difference. ✨
