The meeting will take place on 14 May 2023 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Awen Pub (in front of the jetty in Vannes). We will give the floor to a dozen women who have chosen the maritime world as a profession or passion, so that they can express themselves on their motivations, the difficulties they have encountered and the means they have used to make their project a reality. They will talk about their daily life to reconcile family, professional and social life, and manage their career on an equal footing with men.
