In Mom We Trust project aims to promote the self-entrepreneurship of new mothers in the field of project management applied to European funding. The project was born from the need to be able to reconcile parent (mother) - worker times. It is thought, in fact, that the acquisition of this know-how can be an excellent basis for the start of autonomous activities. The specific objectives are: 1) Transfer to new mothers the know-how to orient themselves in the world of project management applied to Eu funding. 2) Promote, support and encourage the start-up of self-entrepreneurship and remote work. 3) Provide a permanent space for discussion and sharing of good practices. The expected results are 1) Start-up of new (autonomous) businesses for new mothers in the field of Project management 2) Implementation of a network of professional mothers at European level. On the one hand, mothers are prepared, competent and ready to take action in this area. On the other hand, institutions that need professionals at their side to obtain contributions from the European Commission. Our task is to bring them together, to stimulate them, to ensure the effectiveness and professionalism of the work to be carried out. The project involves 5 organisations from countries participating in the programme and 1 partner country (North Macedonia) also involves 12 participants with fewer opportunities and includes 2 international meetings and 2 team building. A web portal will be created that will work even after the end of the project.
1) Start-up of new enterprises (autonomous) of new mothers in the reference sector 2) The implementation of a network of professional mothers at community level.
In the European Union, in 2018, among 18-64 year old residents, 106 million people, more than one in three (34.4%) had nursing responsibilities. 90 million of them took care of children or boys 0-14 years old. The highest incidence among those who take care of children is in the age group 35-44 years, in which almost half of the people (47.7%) is invested with the care of a child under 15 years. According to the European Statistical Office, always looking at 18-64 year-olds with responsibility for caring for children or young people, to report that childcare duties have not had any effect on the professional side are more than 8 men in 10 (83%), compared with just over 6 women out of 10 (61%), with a 22 percentage points between the two genders. Almost one in three people (27.1%) between 18 and 64 years of age, however, had to make some kind of adaptation at work to facilitate childcare activities, but this choice weighed more heavily on women. Among the various possible options, one of the main roads followed was the reduction of working time, which involved 18% of women and 3% of men.
