Promoting a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion in Tech.
Diversity and Inclusion
The What and Why We are hoping to make this
DevFest season the most diverse and inclusive. We’d love every attendee of a DevFest to feel welcome, no matter their background.
Diversity
What is Diversity ?
Diversity Means Difference -Niklas Zennström CEO and Founding Partner at
Atomico

Each and everyone of us is different, our differences can
be grouped into three broad categories Image src: google.com
1. Demographic Image src: google.com
age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical resources Image src:

2. Experimental Image src: google.com
economic or social position, education, occupation, faith, abilities, dependents, caring
responsibilities Image src: google.com
3. Cognitive Image src: google.com
how we approach problems and think about things Image src:

Inclusion
What do we mean by Inclusion ?
Inclusion is the act of making someone feel part of
a group
Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being
asked to dance. - Vernā Myers Lawyer, entrepreneur and author

The Women Techmakers is driving for more diversity and inclusion
to help more women into the technology industry by creating visibility, community, and resources for women in technology.
How ? By creating events such as this #DevFest and
other events that can encourage the participation of women and (and other underrepresented minorities) in our local community.
