We started the month of September in a beautiful location: the H-Farm incubator, an amazing innovation platform situated in the countryside, a few kilometers away from Venice.
We were invited to speak at the first edition of Future Shots, an event dedicated to future trends and technology.
In this context, we were delighted to stress again the importance of diversity in technology in order to shape a future inclusive of all of us.
During the hottest month of August, we were supporting the initiative of the TILC, the Toulouse International Ladies Cup for its second edition! The feminine teams of Paris Saint Germain, Montpellier, Bayern Munich and Arsenal were competing in Toulouse during 2 full days!

We were also invited to give a talk to the local community about gender stereotypes in the sports field…
Apparently we were having a good time with Hajra Khan, the captain of the Pakistani female football team… 🙂
We pursued our Asian tour in Indonesia where we presented our book at the Pecha Kucha night organized by the Hubud coworking in Ubud.
20 slides in 20 seconds each to explain how to balance the world! Video coming soon!
And we finished the month in the beautiful city of Hong Kong, where the local Alliance Française hosted a conversation about our new book Balance the World!
We exchanged with the local community on the stereotypes that are still shaping us and we were lucky enough to have a great article in the Petit Journal. Feel free to read it!
At the end of June, we landed in the Philippines, the Asian country which is the best ranked in terms of gender equity to speak at the She for She event organized by the French Embassy!
It was the opportunity to meet amazing women entrepreneurs, artists and activist from Philippines!
It was a great moment and we hope to be back in Philippines very soon!
Beginning of June, we were in Brussels for the 2018 edition of the European Development Days.
And we were proud to present our book to the local NGOs and activists!
We had different interviews with media.
And we were also part of the great panel Catch up with #HerNarrative! A new role for media in women’s empowerment. You can check online the recording of our exchange there!
Read the article about our work in Le Journal du Dimanche!
Nantes, for the first time. At the Fabrique du Changement! And it was a lot of fun! Especially the icebreaker from the theater company Horizons Croisés!
It was the opportunity to value the tiny moments of happiness.
Our opening talk was about the power of the heroines!
And our talk was beautifully summarized:

We were back to Barcelona for a few days to present our book and run a storytelling workshop at Valkyria coworking space.
And we supported our friends from Factoria F5 through our training on gender stereotypes.
After months of traveling in Asia and Oceania, we first landed back in Europe in the city of Berlin for a beautiful facilitators’ training of the Ashoka Changemaker Exchange community.
This beautiful moment in the middle of the countryside was the opportunity to get to know other fellow facilitators, discover new techniques and dive into non violent communication tools.
We took care of our well-being through different mindfulness practices, gratitude walks and appreciation circles.
It was a very special time that we all cherished very deeply!
