Girls Go Circular Ambassadors Programme 2025
What is it all about?
The Girls Go Circular Ambassadors Programme is an exciting, year-long opportunity designed to empower Girls Go Circular alumnae to collaborate closely with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Community.
As ambassadors, selected students will have the chance to advocate for the Girls Go Circular programme, representing it at both in-person and online events, and helping spread the word far and wide. Alongside these opportunities, ambassadors will strengthen their leadership and communication skills through various activities and tailored mentorship, contributing to both personal and professional growth.
During their mandate, ambassadors are expected to dedicate around 4 hours per month to their role and attend one or two in-person events/workshops in a European country.
