Project summary

Women Empowerment through Entrepreneurship  WEntre project aims to support VET provides from third countries not associated to the Programme in order to develop educational programmes, based on foundational competences, built upon the ERF, ENTRECOMP and UN Women Values & Competences Framework. WEntre aspires the empowering women in third countries to fight unemployment and gender inequality, cultivating entrepreneurship. As far as the ERF is concerned, through WEntre, 6 out of the 8 competences will be developed: Literacy competence; Science, technological, engineering and mathematical competence; Digital competence; Personal, social and learning competence; Civic competence; and Cultural awareness and expression competence (ie all competences except Language Competence and Entrepreneurship competence (that will be covered through ENTRECOMP) WEntre aims to build the capacity of VET institutions in Egypt through the implementation of two complete VET Programme cycles, i.e. the co-design and co-development, co-delivery, co-evaluation and co-validation of skills and competencies. The cooperation on the whole cycle of the VET programme causes ownership. As far as coherence is concerned, we have decided to select frameworks developed by the European Commission that are relevant to the countries we will be working with. As far as sustainability is concerned, we have selected frameworks that are transversal and applicable to different types of learners and therefore the programmes will continue to be delivered after the completion of the project.
