The Europe Code Week is over, but we are still full of excitement! On the 21st - 22nd of October Drupal Bulgaria Community and Coding Girls organised a FREE two-day event for young people from 14 to 24 years of age. It was a great weekend full of informative presentations, practical workshops, inspiring videos and lots of entertaining activities.

“I think you did a great job with organizing the event. I loved how you were so warm and friendly and always ready to help. It made even me (such a shy, quiet person) feel welcomed and comfortable being there. Also thanks for the goodies! :) “
During the whole weekend the participants were asked to share the learnings and discoveries and to stick the colourful notes to the board. Look, what have we gathered and learnt:
“I found out that you should fail in order to win…”
“Be brave and take risks, don’t underestimate yourself!”
“It is not about being perfect, it’s about being brave!”
“A good community should have shared goals”
“Drupal is used all around the world. It supports different types of devices”
“You CAN DO IT! ”
“Everyone should contribute to a community”
“Dream Big”
“Silly old FB pics can capture a story”
“Ëveryone loves kittens :) ”
Keep calm and learn #drupal @drupal our future #drupalrolemodels #sitebuilding #womenintech #womeninDrupal pic.twitter.com/AnzhyIiTsR
