The CodeWomen project of Open Cultural Center started mid 2020 to address the difficult position of migrant and refugee women to work in the male tech world. The goal was to support and encourage women students during the OCC MigraCode bootcamp, to work towards their successful graduation as Junior Web Developer. The first CodeWomen meetings had six participants on average. Since mid 2021 CodeWomen has been inviting tech women outside of MigraCode to join. It has grown into a large community led by a Project Manager with a team of four volunteers and an intern. CodeWomen has become a tech community in BCN that connects around 800 women+ with 60 nationalities. They are students, self-learners, experienced developers, UX/UI designers, etc. The CodeWomen LinkedIn page has over 2,800 followers, and around 75% are tech women+ in the Greater Barcelona area. CodeWomen is an empowering and supportive community for women(+), by women. It provides personal tech and career support in regular meetings. In addition, CodeWomen offers its members a safe environment to share their plans, ambitions and questions with each other. By building this community, CodeWomen stimulates both professional and personal growth. It is about learning, encouragement and support. CodeWomen is a unique place for women(+) career changers to learn and get support. It provides opportunity for networking and meeting new people, and getting career advice from experienced women developers. CodeWomen organises three events each month: - a Learning & Development event with a speaker or workshop, to increase knowledge and practical skills related to tech topics and career aspects; - a hands-on Coding with Coaches session, with women developers who help and coach the participants; - an Open Coding Night where participants can work on their own projects or homework, get help from each other, or just hang out, enjoy food & drinks, and get to know other women+ who are students/graduates/professionals in tech.
