What is the ambition of Curiosity Club?
To enable everyone to take a step closer to gender equality every day through the power of curiosity ! And to do it with enthusiasm, joy and hope !
When was Curiosity Club created ?
On October 15, 2014, during a walk on State Street in Chicago after the conference on Chicago Idea’s Week. Our first event took place on February 21, 2015. The dates are important for us!
What is Curiosity Club?
Today, we define ourselves as an association dedicated to promoting a genuine culture of equal opportunities between women and men through the power of curiosity—a unique positioning in today’s associative landscape.
The association brings together and supports a network of local associations (called clubs) present in 23 cities across France and internationally. Thanks to a strong local presence and national and international ambitions, the network has been growing organically since 2015.
Each club is driven by a local volunteer team whose mission is to create a community of women in their city and to organize original events that advance gender equality. These clubs help inspire more than 50,000 women from all walks of life and support them in financial education. They also raise awareness and promote a culture of equality among over 5,000 schoolchildren, from primary school to high school.
Why are some Curiosity Event only open to women?
We are convinced that equality doesn’t just depend on women, and that men need to take up this issue and take action. We believe that women-only actions and moments also serve to bind women together, to create a space of freedom and exchange to give them the strength to act. We therefore believe that equality is everyone’s business, and that the two types of action are complementary and necessary: moments between women and men, and moments solely between women.
“My heart craves sisters more than anything it craves women who help women like flowers crave spring terribly.”Rupi Kaur
As former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said,” there is a region of hell reserved for women who refuse to help their sisters.”
How does one become a «member» of Curiosity Club ? Is there a membership ?
We want a real living and physical community, which is why since 2015 we have created a real community of members, that is to say women who come to our events and feel part of Curiosity Club because they are inspired by it, They exchange, meet other women. But there is no annual membership to be part of the community yet. We might be working on it and feel free to reach us if you have any thoughts about it.
I know a great woman who could speak at one of your Curiosity Event, how do I recommend her ?
