Inspiring the Next Generation: Girls’ & Boys’ Day
On April 3 we hosted an exciting day for students as part of the annual Girls’ Day & Boys’ Day initiative. These events are much more than just a fun day off school! They’re an opportunity to break down stereotypes, inspire young minds, and introduce the future workforce to exciting career paths.
Aimed at girls and boys from grade 5 onwards, this initiative opens doors to careers that may not have been considered before, helping to spark interest in professions where certain genders are still underrepresented.
What is Girls' Day and Boys' Day?
Girls' Day and Boys' Day is part of a wider campaign in Germany, designed to challenge traditional gender roles and help students explore career paths outside of conventional expectations.
For the girls, the focus is to encourage young women to consider careers in technical fields, IT, and science – areas where women have historically been underrepresented.
On the other hand, Boys’ Day provides boys the chance to explore professions in social, and educational sectors, where men are still a minority.
The goal of these initiatives is clear: help young people expand their horizons, discover new interests, and explore career opportunities.
A day of exploration
At Delivery Hero this is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of the next generation of professionals. We designed the day to be as hands-on and interactive as possible, allowing the students to dive deep right into the world of technology and design.
This is what they got up to:
- Office Tour: The day kicked off with a guided tour of our office. The students got a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative workspaces and facilities. It was a great way to introduce these students to the workplace environment.
- Get Familiar with the Laptops the Tasks: After the tour, the students broke into two groups; girls focusing on data, and boys focusing on design. The girls learned the basics of data analysis, while the boys delved into product design. In the first workshop session, students were introduced to the tools they’d be using and the tasks they’d be working on, giving them a taste of the real working world.
- Lunch: After a productive start to the day, everyone gathered for a relaxed and social lunch in the kitchen – pizza! It was a great way for the students to share their experiences so far, and ask questions in a relaxed environment.
- Working on Projects: With the guidance of our mentors, the attendees continued developing their work. The hands-on experience with industry professionals was invaluable, and many students took pride in presenting their progress by the end of the session.
- Ask Me Anything: One of the highlights of the day was our "Ask Me Anything" session, where students could pose any burning questions to our team. From career advice to technical insights, no question was off-limits, and it was heartwarming to see the curiosity and enthusiasm from the students.
- Goodie Bags: To wrap up the day, goodie bags filled with company merchandise were handed out. It was a small token of appreciation, but it also gave the students something tangible to remember their day and take back with them to school!
Inspiring the future
Our goal is to help make sure that these young girls and boys feel empowered to pursue careers in fields they may not have otherwise considered – whether it’s data, design, or beyond. It’s inspiring that initiatives like Girls’ Day and Boys’ Day are helping to break down barriers and create opportunities for the next generation of professionals, and we’re glad to be part of it!
