Jalios sponsors Find Yourself for the second year running !

For the second year running, Jalios is proud to sponsor Find Yourself, an association under the French law of 1901 that promotes gender equality through female empowerment. Created in 2018, this women's club brings together women from diverse and varied backgrounds who share a desire to go further, higher in their personal lives and/or careers. These women also share the need to get together to discuss issues that concern them.

At Jalios, we're keen to support this cause by sponsoring Find Yourself, we're working to promote the place of women in tech and to create an environment where their talents are fully valued.

Here's a look back at this partnership with Clémence Mouellé Moukouri, founder of Find Yourself, and Julia Savariaux, Events and Partner Marketing Manager at Jalios, and volunteer for the association.

 

What is Find Yourself ?

Clémence :

I founded Find Yourself 6 years ago because I wanted to create authentic, non-judgemental forums for women to express themselves, as well as a powerful women's network where kindness and sisterhood reign supreme. At Find Yourself, women express themselves freely, help each other and explore new avenues of thought and concrete solutions to their personal and professional development issues.

We have 4 areas of action:

  1. Events : We create and organise events, talking circles, practical workshops, conferences, afterworks, collective intelligence sessions and debates around personal and professional development to provide resources, tools, experience and a network. Several times a year, Find Yourself organises these events to enable women to meet, network, support and inspire each other.
  2. The Talk Show : Find Yourself Show: launched in 2021, an inclusive web show that highlights new female role models in all their diversity. Our aim? To help improve the representation of women and gender minorities in the media, particularly on the Internet, and to highlight the wealth of their backgrounds, experience and expertise.
  3. The festival : Empowerment Month is a feminist and inclusive festival that addresses the under-representation of women and gender minorities by giving them a voice on social issues where they are still too little seen and heard. Expert round tables, practical workshops and exhibitions open up discussions, stimulate reflection and raise awareness of the need for a fairer, more sustainable and egalitarian society.
  4. The seminar : The Eclosion seminar is a personal and professional development programme dedicated to working women who are absorbed by their many day-to-day responsibilities. The seminar is a gentle interlude where introspection and collective intelligence enable each woman to (re)realise her potential, to take her place, achieve her goals and break through the glass ceilings.

For the second year running, Find Yourself has been awarded the UN Women France x Génération Égalité Voices label in the ‘Equality Accelerator’ category.

Why did you get involved in this association and what is your role ?

Julia :

Ever since I was young, I've been interested in voluntary work and humanitarian travel, and I was keen to get involved in a project that was in line with my values. 2 years ago, I was in the middle of some personal development and I came across the Find Yourself association, which was offering a job as an events manager. I jumped at the chance, especially as I share the same values as the association. It's clearly helped me to learn about myself in all areas, and to build up my self-confidence. Since June 2024, I've been in charge of events and a member of the administration committee, which is similar to my position at Jalios, where I'm Head of Events and Director of Partnerships.

 

Why is Jalios renewing its Find Yourself sponsorship ?

Julia :

Jalios is an independent company that is true to its values, committed to an environment where everyone's talents are fully valued, with inclusive diversity and collective intelligence. Continuing our sponsorship with Find Yourself, which shares values such as personal development and gender equality,that are an integral part of our commitments. What's more, together we can go further. It is therefore obvious for Jalios to renew our support for Find Yourself.

 Jalios has also published the official gender equality index indicators for 2024 :

  • Overall score: 78/100

 

What actions has FindYourself taken thanks to Jalios ?

For the past 3 years, in conjunction with International Women's Rights Day in March, Find Yourself has been organising Empowerment Month: an inclusive festival highlighting women and gender minorities in all their diversity. Each week of the month, we offer different event formats to invite everyone to reflect, discuss, share and act with kindness and impact on social issues that are still taboo or too rarely discussed.

Jalios' sponsorship enabled us to finance the 4th edition of this ambitious and meaningful festival. The funds granted were used to finance: a venue in Paris intramuros to host the festival, speeches, equipment, event logistics, communication and promotion of the event.

We were able to cover all these topics : 

  • Financial inequalities within couples
  • High-level sportswomen: what are the challenges ?
  • Mental health and social networks: (in)compatible ?
  • The keys to free, conscious and fulfilled sexuality
  • Diversity, equity and inclusion: what's at stake for companies ?

The association supports Jalios employees ?

Clémence :

In return for this sponsorship, we offered free tickets to all the Empowerment Month events, as well as working with Jalios on setting up a round table dedicated to the place of women in tech, or on how companies are working to value female talent and what more they can do. We also hosted a Jalios Live Pitch, an internal conference that Jalios offers its employees with topics designed to raise awareness of issues or encourage the sharing of information and ideas.
