Cyberwayfinder's Stories (Podcast in English)
Cyberwayfinder is a programme combining training and professional integration to facilitate the career transition of women in cybersecurity
Based in Brussels, this startup breaks the taboo on women in high technology. Ambitious participants are catapulted into positions as cyber security specialists after a few weeks of intense training.
In this podcast, recorded entirely online, CyberWayFinder aims to highlight the inspiring personalities who have taken part in the program. In each episode, Rosanna Kurrer, co-founder and managing director of CyberWayFinder, explores a specific sector of cybersecurity with her guest, and looks back on her unique journey.
"The unique blend of evening and weekend seminars, with practical hands-on, bench-top and academics, allows participants to actively work in cyber-careers while they train, using what they learned the night before in their jobs the next day."
As an example, in the first episode, we meet Ama Sarpong, a former CyberWayFinder student, and currently Identity and Access management consultant. She tells us about her job, and her career path from her early childhood when she left Ghana for Belgium, showing incredible determination to make it all the way to her job in a large financial firm.

ILGA Europe: NGO defending the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Europe
What is ILGA Europe? Based in Brussels, this NGO brings together more than 600 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex organisations from 54 countries.
The Frontline is a podcast about LGBTQI+ activism and their lives in Europe and Central Asia.
"Deep-diving and analyzing from a unique and informed perspective, The Frontline aims to bring you to the core of queer activism and give you an understanding on the complexities of what's happening, why it's happening, the wins and the losses, the challenges and commonalities, and the extraordinary ways in which the work of those on the frontlines continues in a rapidly changing world.
We were fortunate and honored to work with ILGA Europe on this engaging and extremely interesting podcast, recorded online. Still too little is said about the difficulties faced by the LGBTQI+ community worldwide. These atrocities, humiliations, discriminations and retrograde ideas of which this community is victim do not happen so far from us. Let's open our eyes, and try to change the way we look at things, and the way those around us look at things, so that our differences never again serve to separate us, but rather to enrich each other.

Growfunding podcast (Podcast in French and Dutch)
Growfunding asbl is a civic crowdfunding platform. What does that mean?
"Social crowdfunding makes participatory financing a tool for social change. Thanks to social crowdfunding, money and means are made available for projects that have a positive impact on society. Citizens are thus called upon to participate in projects which, each in their own way, provide an answer to current social challenges."
Growfunding selects and supports especially social and urban initiatives that aim to improve the city. The idea is also to invite people to get involved together in building a better world by supporting innovative and social projects. They are in Brussels and Antwerp, this podcast is produced by the Brussels branch.
In the first episode, we look at the phenomenon of temporary occupation. A phenomenon that is particularly present on the platform, which testifies to a real craze for the principle. Faced with the housing crisis, the lack of available space and at the same time the incredible number of unoccupied buildings in Brussels, many projects aim to temporarily occupy empty buildings to propose social initiatives. Via the participatory funding platform, citizens are invited to support these social projects and take over the many empty buildings. Margarita Marin meets Nora Romet, Communa ASBL (on Facebook: communa asbl), and Arnaud Leonis, L'Accroche ASBL.

Owisper podcast (Podcast in French)
Owisper, the startup for a fulfilled sexuality
This online sexology platform addresses a major problem in our lives. Indeed, one person in three has already experienced or will experience in his or her life problems related to sexuality in their relationship. 1/3? If this seems exaggerated to you, keep in mind that many people will never admit to having difficulties in this area. This estimate may further minimize the magnitude of the problem.
Hormonal dysfunction, psychological disturbance, or physical failure, the vast majority of these intimate problems are nevertheless relatively easily curable. Unfortunately, this subject is extremely taboo.
It is very difficult to talk about it, both in private and in front of professional sexologists. Owisper's solution is to guarantee anonymity to its clients/patients who can follow a therapy from their computer. For the same reason, Owisper Podcast episodes are not broadcast on podcast platforms.
"More than a podcast, it is a pedagogical, therapeutic tool: deconstructing clichés, giving advice, providing simple and effective solutions. Each episode corresponds to a stage of therapy according to the client/patient's needs."
Happiness is the goal of all of us. Sexual fulfillment is part of it. Breaking free from taboos, learning and understanding how to achieve happiness are Owisper's goals, and we are happy to contribute to them.

Turning 20 in 2020
"23 December 2020, I just turned 21. Soon to be the end of a long and special year. And I went to bed a few days ago with an idea in mind; what if I wrote a text for the 20 year old in 2080, or for the one in 1980? So that we can compare our generations, our stories, our thoughts..."

Is it comparable to the war period her grandparents experienced? How will future generations grow up? Will they be surprised by the incredible living conditions in which we live today?
