The ZEvent has just ended and raised more than 10 million euros. An event rich in emotions, but poor in terms of the presence of streamers. Of the fifty invited cameramen, only ten women were present. “In 2021 there were 35% of Twitch users: a figure that does not differentiate streamers from viewers”, relief 20 minutes in an article about the lack of diversity in the stream.
Other events are organized to highlight streamers such as the “Stream for trees”. “We are not at all in reaction to ZEvent, specifies Tech&Co Chloé Boels, Serpentine and co-organizer of the event. We don’t know the underbelly of your organization and we don’t know if invitations have been declined. We have been organizing this event for months and, like them, we are raising funds for an association that defends ecology, so we could join!
The creek meets the ecological cause.
The “Stream through the trees” is a charity event, in collaboration with Greenpeace Belgium, which will take place from September 26 to October 2. Organized by the Stream’Her collectivethe idea is to bring together 72 female streamers of all nationalities to collect donations to plant an urban forest in brussels. For one week, streamers will be able to maintain their normal streaming pace and will provide a link to the kitty, which will be shared at the end of the event. “We will plant trees with all the streamers on November 12 or 19,” enthuses Chloé Boels.
The participants are mostly French or Belgian, free to register, whatever their topic and the size of their audience. “There is no small or large community, we need everyone,” insists Chloé Boels.
For your first such event, the Stream’Her collective continues its mission by “showcasing all the talents to ensure the younger generation can identify and get started.”
