How to Organize a Girls in ICT Day?
Organizing an event to celebrate the Girls in ICT Day is a worthwhile effort. It is our chance to raise awareness about the opportunities of the ICT sector and empower girls and young women with the knowledge that careers in ICT can be for them.
There is no particular model or template to organize Girls in ICT Day events. You can create your own event, tailoring to your local context and means. The events can be nation-wide or series of regional or local events. You can target smaller groups of girls or you can aim to reach hundreds of girls.
International Girls in ICT Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of April each year and will next be celebrated on 23 April 2015. The stakeholders are welcomed to plan their event on the official date or depending on the local holidays and context the Girls in ICT Day event can be held in the weeks around the 4th Thursday of April.
