Women In Digital Empowerment and the National Council of Women in Luxembourg have announced a Design-A-Thon event for Saturday 15 October, taking place between 9:30 and 17:00 at the Forum Gesseknäppchen (40 Boulevard Pierre Dupong, Luxembourg).

The organisations are searching for participants to help create a new mobile application during the event. Participants should be women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, although volunteers over the age of twenty-five are also welcome to help out.

The project involves the creation of an application which will better inform the public about gender equality.

At the current rate, it will take another seventy years to fill the salary gap between men and women.

During the Design-A-Thon event, participants will be advised by experts in the fields of design and gender equality.

The event is free to attend. Registration: http://bit.ly/2cXnv9O
