About the Retreat

Participants spent two nights away in a beautiful venue just outside of Bristol (about 90 minutes from London). All transport, bedding, food and drinks were included. During the retreat participants developed ideas for their passion project and met inspiring women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths). They also had the chance to do some photography, filmmaking and creative writing.

Graduation

The retreat was followed by a graduation event to  celebrate participants’ achievements and share their projects.
