Through the implementation of the project, we wanted to improve the competence of the staff of each partner involved in the implementation of activities aimed at strengthening the position of women in society and in the labor market, to exchange experience between the organizations participating in the project, and to create materials based on the experience of the consortium partners that will help other institutions and organizations to create better quality offerings for socially and economically disadvantaged women. The project also aims to draw attention to the difficult situation of women from rural, disadvantaged, long-term unemployed areas and to present successful stories of women who have improved their situation through participation in support programs. We wanted to motivate more women to get involved, to take up an internship, to get hired, to believe that success in their case is also possible.
The "Women empowerment" project was implemented in an international partnership of 3 NGOs: Kolping Society in Poland, Kolping Society in Romania , Kolping Society in Serbia and the training company Avangard Personal Consulting from Bulgaria. Its purpose was to exchange experiences between organizations involved in the subject of strengthening the position of women in society and in the labor market through the acquisition and development of their basic skills and key competencies, and to create exemplary qualification paths developed in the international strategic partnership. The chosen topic corresponded to the needs and goals of the European Commission - the European Strategy 2020 stipulates that women's employment should be increased. The direct beneficiaries of the project were members, staff, volunteers and employees of the partners involved, who are interested in the situation of women in the labor market and society. As a result of the project, participants improved their competencies, developed recommendations and examples of effective paths of support for beneficiaries for their organizations, which ultimately will enable institutions and organizations to create more effective support programs dedicated to women.
