This interactive simulation workshop invites OpenConf participants to step into the everyday realities of women – particularly refugee women – as they navigate entering the Greek tech ecosystem. Powered by Sistech – a European non-profit advancing gender equity and refugee rights in technology – through this 60′ experience with guided role-play and real-world scenarios, attendees will experience the subtle and structural biases faced by women rebuilding their lives and careers in technology.
Τhe session combines experiential learning, reflection, and group discussion to reveal how unconscious assumptions shape hiring, team dynamics, and leadership pathways.
Participants will leave with actionable strategies to foster inclusion, making this session valuable for engineers, HR professionals, founders, students and anyone building products or teams.
