2026-06-09 13:00 - 14:30 | Online, Czech Republic
You are warmly invited to join an online dialogue organized as part of the DigiSkill project, supported by the Erasmus+ programme, on the topic:
🌍 No-code apps, free and easy web development 🌍
As no-code tools and accessible web development platforms continue to evolve, creating digital products is no longer limited to professional developers or large technology teams. Modern tools make it possible to quickly build websites, mobile applications, and prototypes with minimal resources, lowering the barrier between an idea and a functional product. At the same time, understanding the principles behind these tools — from data and system thinking to user needs and product validation – remains essential for building solutions that are both useful and sustainable.
📅 The dialogue will take place on June 9, 2026 at 13:00 CET, online via Zoom (the link will be shared prior to the event).
⏱️ The session will last approximately 1.5 hours and will be held in English.
🎤 Our guest speaker will be Patrik Byrouti – Data Specialist & Founder of the Tweenip App
Patrik works in IT with a focus on data, system architecture, and software development. During his career, he has worked across multiple technical roles, including IT support, business analysis, database administration, data engineering, and software architecture. He currently works as a Dative Operator at ČSOB.
In addition to his professional background, Patrik is also the founder of Tweenip, a nonprofit mobile application for families with children. The project was created from a personal need to simplify planning family activities and discovering child-friendly places.
His experience combines enterprise IT with practical product development, including building and validating digital products with limited resources. In the dialogue, he will share his perspective on no-code applications, accessible web development, and how modern tools make it possible to turn ideas into functional products quickly and efficiently.
The dialogue is intended for young adults aged 18–30, particularly those interested in intercultural learning, youth collaboration, and international partnerships. The DigiSkill project brings together participants from Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Portugal, focusing on the development of intercultural and digital competences.
We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring and interactive conversation!
