Moinworld

Moinworld e.V. is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 in Hamburg, emerging from the local Women Techmakers Community. The name "Moinworld" is a combination of "Hello World" and "Moin," a typical Northern German greeting.

The main mission of Moinworld is to increase the proportion of women in the IT and tech industry while promoting equality and gender justice in these fields. The organization aims to create a developer community where women and girls have the same opportunities to shape the digital future as men[2][5].

• Education and Workshops: Moinworld offers comprehensive educational programs in computer science and digital product development, including programming courses and workshops. These take place both in schools and outside of school and are aimed at girls and women of all ages[2][3][5].
• Networking Events: The organization organizes regular meetups, lectures, and conferences that allow participants to network with the local developer community and make new contacts. These events are often free and take place at tech companies[5].
• Mentoring Program: Since 2020, Moinworld has offered a mentoring program that provides individual support and career guidance to the members of the organization[2][5].
• Summer Camps: Annually, Moinworld hosts summer camps for older girls to provide career orientation in the IT field[2].

• Gender Justice: A central goal is to promote equality and gender justice in the IT and tech industry. Moinworld works to uncover and overcome unconscious biases, particularly through workshops in Hamburg schools[2][3][5].
• Education and Self-Perception: Through special programming courses and workshops, the self-confidence of girls in the technical field is strengthened. The organization collaborates with the Help Alliance of the Lufthansa Group and other partners to achieve these goals[2][3].
