Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Under non-profit organisation Czechitas (czech IT courses for girls) we are going to make another gender-imbalanced weekend course for girls similar to well established RailsGirls.

Are there some tutorials good for beginners weekend courses (like them from RailsGirls)?
Somebody experienced with beginners?
Or some similar events in the world?

Thank you for help :-)

Curriculum resources

Here are some thoughts, from someone who's done some free or low-cost Drupal training workshops in the past...

The Drupal community has several Global Training Days every year. See:
https://www.drupal.org/global-training-days
They have an "Intro to Drupal" curriculum but I think it's kind of aimed at decision makers and maybe not what you're looking for? Not sure.

For learning how to use Drupal to make web sites, I have a curriculum (Drupal 7 but could be used fairly easily for Drupal 8) that I've used several times at http://poplarclass.com -- that is for either an intensive 1-day class, or a 3-evening series. In those courses, I've been at the front of the room teaching, and the participants have each had their own laptop. It really helps if there are some extra people there to help when people have problems.

Another approach would be to use videos or a book, and let the participants work at their own pace, with people around to help them.

If you want written materials... We are working on creating a User Guide to Drupal 8 but it isn't done yet -- see https://www.drupal.org/project/user_guide

To use videos... there is the OSTraining Drupal 8 video series... It looks like their Beginner series is available now on YouTube:

Good luck!
