How can I take part as a school?
With the successful first edition of Girlsday237, we've noticed that young girls are passionate about the project. They enjoy collaborating within their respective schools on the proposed projects and presenting their work in public. However, the active participation of teachers is essential. Their commitment as volunteers is necessary to guide and orient the girls during the month of work on their project, as well as to accompany them during the presentation. Without the dedicated involvement of teachers, participation becomes more complex. We look forward to your participation in next year's event.
