Meeting and hearing from role models that girls can relate to is invaluable in sparking their interest in ICTs. You can invite female ICT professionals to share information about their career paths, professional and personal life, and why they think ICTs are interesting. This can mean discussions in small groups, inspirational talks or round table discussions. Try to avoid lecturing and let girls ask questions freely. You can also use the video messages recorded by role models from around the world hosted on the ITU Girls in ICT Portal. In these short videos, female ICT professionals talk to Girls in ICT Day event participants inspiring and motivating them. If you are a role model yourself and would like to share your message with Girls in ICT Day event participants, please contact us!
