Global Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship

 

Global Diversity & Inclusion

We believe that diversity, inclusion and empowerment is transformitive for both individuals and organizations. Droidcon’s ethos has always been to gather together motivated Android developers from diverse backgrounds, interests, abilities and personalities to learn, meet and collaborate. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive community where all members feel comfortable engaging and expressing themselves. 

Our global diversity scholarship program is guided by a commitment to building a more diverse Android developer community and investing in the next tech industry leaders. We celebrate diversity, acknowledge inequality in the tech sphere and aim to combat this. We believe a great way to do this is by sponsoring members of underrepresented communities based on gender, sexual preference, physical and mental ability and ethnicity, as well as helping people who would otherwise be unable to afford a ticket in having access to the same opportunities.

To this end, droidcon is working with corporate partners as well as our global network of droidcon organizers across the globe to offer a range of scholarship options to over 25 droidcon events taking place each year.
