Be nice or else. We're here to support each other to do a better job. No need to mean or 💩 on people's parade – constructive feedback and highlighting wins is *everything*.

Prep for next week

You have all afternoon to prep for next week. This could include:

• Go over the learnings you got from other teams about your pitch

• Reevaluate the way you worked together on this hackathon, what could you improve?

• Decide together what you'd like to build, with a brainstorm or a scoping session for example.

• Do a retro with the team; what did you like about working together with a team, what would you want to change?

Find your groove. Use this time to get ready to conquer the world... next week.

Pick your talk

[optional workshop] Sexual harassment: why react and how? by Plan International NGO

Learn how to help others and yourself! When someone is being harassed, as a bystander you do not always know what to do. Not knowing how to respond or being afraid of getting into trouble yourself are normal reactions. However, any form of action or help can make a world of difference to the victim. Join this session if you want to learn more about this topic and how to intervene.

Bye BOSA!

Big thanks to BOSA for being the perfect host: patient and helpful!
