Fellow launches Titrit Girls Collaborative Council with Social Innovation Lab for TechGirls, Technovation & Digigirlz alum
Youth digital skills development initiative eSTEM Morocco, led by fellow Nezha Larhrissi (Morocco, 2013), recently launched the Titrit Girls Collaborative Council at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in partnership with the Social Innovation Lab (SIL) ahead of the International Day of the Girl on October 11, 2024.
Convening 17 girls from diverse regions across Morocco, the council aims to galvanize alumnae from STEM programs including TechGirls, Technovation Girls and Digigirlz to design the structure and objectives of the Titrit Girls Collaborative Council in preparation for an upcoming eSTEAM Festival. Under the mentorship of eSTEMorocco and SIL, invitees took part in a two-day event designed to enhance their leadership skills and establish regional action plans as part of eSTEM Morocco’s “vision of digitally including 50,000 girls from disadvantaged backgrounds by 2025.”
Ideated and established by TechWomen’s seed-grant winning Team Morocco in 2013, eSTEM Morocco, has since earned international recognition and support, including the United Nations Foundation’s Global Citizen Education Award and an Aspen Digital Equity Accelerator placement. During the 2023 TechWomen Delegation to Morocco, eSTEM Morocco launched the Titrit digital platform, which provides training, mentorship, and networking opportunities for girls across Morocco.
Nezha will give a pitch focused on Digital Access to the Titrit App at the Alumnae Summit in Morocco this December.
