WeCode Board Meets in Tampere to Shape Future Projects and International Collaboration

The WeCode Board of Directors convened in Tampere for a highly productive meeting that began with a delightful breakfast and unfolded into a day of strategic planning, future visioning, and community-oriented discussions.

The morning opened with a warm and welcoming breakfast, setting the tone for a collaborative session. Board members engaged in focused conversations about upcoming educational projects, carefully planning their timelines, shaping their content, and confirming the lineup of speakers. This groundwork ensures that WeCode’s upcoming programs will continue to provide high-quality learning opportunities for the IT community.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the discussion on Turkish-style breakfast events. The board explored potential venues in Tampere and beyond, aiming to introduce this cultural and community experience to IT professionals. Plans were also set in motion to seek sponsorship opportunities that will support the launch of these gatherings. Once venues are confirmed, these breakfast meetings will become an exciting tradition where IT professionals can network, exchange experiences, and build stronger connections.

The board also took significant steps in mentorship planning. Time and resources were allocated to strengthen mentorship initiatives, with a focus on shaping programs that guide aspiring IT professionals towards successful careers. The discussions emphasized long-term commitment to mentorship as a core value of WeCode’s mission.

Another key agenda item was the WeCode Camp, a larger community event that will blend professional growth with team building and networking. Preparations for this initiative are already underway, promising a unique experience for participants in the coming months.

Looking beyond Finland, the board reviewed strategies for international collaboration. Plans were drafted to provide guidance and knowledge-sharing to IT associations in Sweden and Poland. This cross-border cooperation highlights WeCode’s expanding role as a hub of expertise and support for immigrant IT professionals across Europe.

Finally, the board set the time and place for its next meeting, ensuring that the momentum built in Tampere will carry forward into concrete actions and future milestones.

The day in Tampere concluded with renewed energy, strengthened collaboration, and a clear roadmap for the months ahead.
