On April 25, Armenia will celebrate "Girls in ICT Day", an event
observed internationally since 2010. The event is based on a
resolution of the International Telecommunication Union, an agency
of the United Nations.
To mark the day, a "Tech Needs Girls" forum will be held at the
American University of Armenia to encourage Armenian girls to choose
a career in information and communication technologies (ICT). A number
of successful women from the ICT sector, the government, academia, and
public and private sectors will share their knowledge and experience
with the participants. The event will close with an award ceremony to
acknowledge the high schools students who participated in a recent
essay competition. This year the forum will be live-streamed to
Armenian high schools in the provinces, allowing young women and
girls in rural areas to participate remotely.
The event is organized by the Women and Information Society NGO in
collaboration with the Ministry of Economy, the USAID Enterprise
Development and Market Competitiveness (EDMC) Project, the American
University of Armenia, Cisco, Viva Cell, and the National Center
of Educational Technologies, with information support from the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
