In support of Girls in ICT Day 2020-2021 and of the EQUALS Global Partnership for Gender Equality in the Digital Age, Talking Tech: Girls and Women in ICT is a year-long series of online interviews by girls and young women in technology in conversation with women in technology that are leaders and/or further on in their careers, organized by the ITU Liaison Office at the UN, UN ICC, the Office of the Secretary General’s Envoy on Youth, and ITU Americas. The volunteer will be expected to write a few blogs based on the Talking Tech interview videos already posted to the EQUALS YouTube channel and summarize the advice shared by the interviewee and interviewer in each video.
