"I had been following the EuroPython community since 2024 and what stood out for me was how inclusive it was. This was open not only to people from the EU but worldwide. I saw people from Africa getting the stage to speak and even the opportunity grants were there for everyone. I told myself wow! I should be part of this community. All I can say I will still choose EuroPython over and over."
"I was the Django Girls organizer and also part of the Financial Aid organizing team. In the Django Girls, I was in charge of putting out the call for coaches and Django Girls mentees. I ensured proper logistics were in place for all attendees and also worked with the communications team to ensure enough social media posts were made about the event. I also worked with coaches to set up the PCs for mentees for the workshop i.e. Django installation."
Doreen volunteered because of EuroPython's diversity and inclusivity, noting global participation, African speakers, and accessible opportunity grants. She served as Django Girls lead organizer and as a Financial Aid team member. For Django Girls she issued calls for coaches and mentees, coordinated logistics, worked with communications for social media, and helped coaches install Django and set up PCs for mentees. On the Financial Aid Team she issued calls for grants, reviewed applications, sent acknowledgement emails, prepared visa letters for accepted recipients, and issued conference tickets for online and onsite attendees. She also volunteered onsite during the conference.
