The Nokia Be Remarkable Conference for Girls
Nokia Remarkable Women is a recently developed celebration and community of women challenging conventions, bravely being different and inspiring others.
The fantastic and first Nokia Be Remarkable Conference for Girls was held on December 1st, in Holborn, London, a day of lively discussion, dance and creativity for girls between 11-14.
There was an opportunity to see Ruby Doha and Kimberley Wilson from Great British Bake Off 2013 speak about their experiences on the programme, how it was to be put under pressure in the public eye, and their tips on how to pursue your dreams and overcome the struggles we all experience.
Kimberley and Ruby answered a range of interesting questions from the audience, before signing autographs and posing for photographs with fans.
We were lucky enough to catch up with Kimberley and Ruby, and you can read what advice they had to give on being self- confident soon on Jump! Mag.
The day included taking part in 4 different workshops, where the attendees were put into groups and got to take part in each exciting and varied activity, including:
-
Creative session making mini-magazines celebrating positive role models
-
Amazing street dance workshop with
Tips, hints and tasks session on how to love yourself more and be your own BFF
