The <a href="https://www.hiig.de/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society</a> (HIIG) co-organises with the <a href="https://www.giz.de/en/html/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">German Agency for International Cooperation</a> (GIZ) in Cambodia, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), as well as the Cambodian Academy for Digital Transformation (CADT) to this event in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Ideathon on Gender Equality and Equity in the Tech-Sector aims to empower women1 and promote gender equality and equity in the tech industry in Cambodia and across South-East Asia. With a specific emphasis on digital literacy for women and marginalised communities, the Ideathon seeks to reshape the future of the tech landscape by integrating an intersectional gender perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This event aims to bring together different stakeholders to conceive innovative ideas for making tech skills accessible to all. In line with this objective, we are reaching out to various organisations to present their projects and conduct a 60 minutes interactive workshop within their domain of expertise.&nbsp;&nbsp;We would be delighted, if your organisation joined the event and organised with us a slot for your involvement, enabling you to engage with women from Cambodia and beyond. This presents an exceptional platform to showcase your organisation, share impactful projects, and elucidate the societal influence of your endeavours. Furthermore, you would be given the opportunity to create within this time slot a hands-on segment wherein you and the participants collaborate, exchange ideas, and cultivate constructive discourse.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our primary focus resides in reshaping the future of the tech industry by including women and marginalised communities equally. Consequently, we are keen on spotlighting organisations that address the following pivotal inquiries:&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Strategies for integrating women into tech career paths at the university level.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Approaches to attracting female talent to the technology sector post-graduation, particularly within the realm of business and companies.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Exploration of company policies that foster gender diversity and inclusion.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Examining the tech sector through an intersectional gender perspective, with a specific emphasis on women.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Shaping the future of the tech sector by ensuring inclusive tech skills for all.&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;During the Ideathon, participants are free to select the workshops that resonate with their interests. To foster an environment of convergence, we have also planned an Inspirational Talk and a group discussion involving all participants and workshop presenters, which will also take place during the event. The Ideathon aspires to cultivate an atmosphere of learning, sharing, and empowerment.&nbsp;&nbsp;The precise structure of your workshop is yours to define, and we are more than eager to engage in detailed discussions about this. If this resonates with you, we look forward to the opportunity to connect with you via Zoom. Should you have any questions or require additional information beforehand, please do not hesitate to reach out to Sarah Spitz (sarah.spitz@hiig.de).&nbsp;&nbsp;Together with you and your expertise, we would like to create a community of practice around the topic of how to include, educate, and create a more diverse tech sector in Cambodia!&nbsp;&nbsp;We would be delighted to have you at our event and to hear about your unique path into the tech sector.&nbsp;&nbsp;
