"What we lack are role models who let us dream and show us what is possible as a woman. I was lucky enough to have an older sister, and one of her friends was doing an internship in New York. I was 9 then - living in a village in Morocco. But from that moment on, I knew that's what I wanted to do. And I did it." Hajar, now 34, lawyer
How can we empower girls to create self-confidence, dare dreaming and finally follow their dreams? Girls Gearing Up Leadership Academy is equipping the next generation of female leaders with confidence, tools and an international network.
In 2021 Andrea Bury, Founder of the ABURY Foundation, was so inspired by her mentoring session with the girls at the Girls Gearing Up Summer Academy, that they decided to collaborate. One of their goals is to offer two scholarships to girls from Morocco for the Summer Academy Program 2022 in Berlin.
In this unique talk with Tina Limbird and Courtney Adams (Founders of Girls Gearing Up) as well as Jacqueline Kammyani (17 years old) und Amina Chunga (15 years old) from Malawi, in southeastern Africa, you will
a) be amazed how one week of Girls Leadership Academy with Girls Gearing Up changed their lives.
b) be inspired how energetic, positive, creative and self-confident they talk about their dreams and visions (in their first official speaking engagement!).
c) learn how you (as a teenage girl or mother of a teenage girl) can be involved and how GGU and the ABURY Foundation want to bring two teenage girls from Morocco to Berlin for the Summer Academy in 22.
d) be able to ask the questions you always wanted to ask a self-confident teenage girl :).
We are looking forward to seeing you on the 2nd of March to an inspirational, intercultural exchange. The talk will be in English.
