Shadowing

 

Every year, the Commission launches a shadowing exercise, working together with some leading companies active in Europe to give young women a taste of what a job in ICT would be like. The idea has been to show them what a typical day would be like, by accompanying or "shadowing" a female role model for a day. A number of leading technology companies have taken part in this exercise together with the European Commission. Commissioner Viviane Reding was shadowed for a day by two young women during the ICT Event in Lyon. The experiences during these shadowing days have been filmed and the video was presented in the Cyberellas are IT! Conference, held in Brussels on 3 March 2009 to celebrate the International Women's Day.
