Centre for Civil Society Promotion (CCSP) through its SMART Resource Center (RC) for the fourth year has carried out an educational initiative with the aim of involving girls from elementary and high schools from rural areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the information communication technologies (ICTs).
Now it is time to prepare International day of girls in information communication technologies, which is celebrated every year during April, namely on the fourth Thursday in April (26th April 2018). Girls in ICT Day was inspired by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is being implemented in more than 140 countries worldwide. SMART Resource Center has also enabled this program in BiH, and being official representative for the third year. With this unique action, we want to raise awareness of the importance of involving girls in the field of information and communication technologies and promoting the benefits of ICT careers. SMART Resource Center will also organize this year's series of educational activities related to this international initiative. SMART RC has so far included more than 2,000 participants from all over BiH, and has invited many experts to support this activity through a thematic program, with the aim of motivating young girls towards orienting and improving ICT.
This year's program will combine informative and educational workshops that will bring young girls closer to the world's best trends and future affairs. This year, the goal is to include as many girls from all over BiH as examples of successful women from the ICT industry.
It is planned that schools participate in several ways in marking this event:
- Organizing the International Day of Girls at Schools;
- Attendance of IT experts at school hours;
- Organizing educational lectures on the importance of directing girls to the ICT sector;
- Participate in workshops organized by SMART RC;
