Partners agree that at EU level women face a disadvantage in finding a job suiting their skills and education and to strike the right balance between work/career and family life, maintaining their status. In these times of economic crisis the gender divide is further increasing and the problem is pressing.
This Partnership has identified the need of looking for solutions capable of alleviating this problem by means of finding more effective forms of non – formal education directed to women, in order to obtain a double impact: to stimulate women’s motivation to learn and to raise the quality of education opportunities directed to women in non-formal contexts, with a view to fight women marginalisation in society and to open up opportunities in the job market in emerging sectors.
The partners intend to put together their complementary competences for the discussion and assessment of innovative learning opportunities exploiting innovative ICT tools and interactive multimedia and to design a practical learning experience in the cultural sector based on interactive ICT, using an appropriate learning method (suiting both the ICT tool and women learning style).
Further to this, the partnership will:
- disseminate these experience through different channels, including social networks and platforms based on the Internet 2.0 and 3.0 to reach out to women in the house
- study possible ways of practically implement project results, including on how to connect them to the job market.
The Partnership is both geographically and sectorally diverse, with a wide European coverage and complementary competences (ICT provider, research institutes, women organisations, public body).
