Day two - FEMINA steering group meeting ✔️

📌Regional Actionplans are evaluated, and we are in line with our plans
📎 This means that FEMINA is actually moving regions in the desired direction. We are making regions across Europe more open for equality and diversity in high tech sector 👏🏻

📌We are posting and sharing good stories, but we all need to share it more across our own regional and National networks 👍🏻

📌 The Action Plans are one of the important tools to make relevant policy improvements- new regional programs, training and tools promoting female participation in high tech sector.
📎 We are working so well on this so that every region has great and fitted initiatives for this!

🇪🇺 I look so much forward to our next meeting in Arezzo 🙌🏻
