We wanted to create meaningful support for migrant women, especially Ukrainian refugees, who were struggling with stress and isolation while adapting to new lives across Europe. Many of these women lacked access to culturally appropriate mental health resources and faced barriers connecting with their new communities.Our goal was to develop practical, accessible digital learning tools focusing on stress management, mindfulness, and building resilience. We created 12 multilingual modules in total covering mental health awareness, work-life balance, and active citizenship that women could access at their own pace. Through partnerships in Lithuania, Croatia, and Greece, we piloted these resources with 40 diverse participants, gathering feedback to improve content and usability. We wanted to foster peer connections, helping women share experiences and support each other through similar challenges.Beyond individual support, we strengthened cooperation between adult education providers and contribute evidence-based approaches for supporting displaced populations. We created sustainable resources that other organizations could adapt and use via digital platforms.
We applied for SOCO to address the urgent need for accessible, inclusive support for migrant women across Europe especially Ukrainian, facing high stress, anxiety, and social isolation while adapting to new countries. These women experience emotional disconnection, digital exclusion, and limited access to culturally appropriate mental wellbeing resources. We created a low-threshold digital learning environment focused on stress reduction, mindfulness, and resilience building. Our approach promoted peer support and digital literacy as key empowerment tools. Through 12 multilingual learning modules, a digital guidebook, and structured collaboration between partners in Lithuania, Croatia, and Greece, we helped women overcome inclusion barriers. SOCO enabled participants to develop coping strategies, connect with peers facing similar challenges, and access culturally sensitive support. We strengthened cooperation between adult education providers, supported community engagement, and fostered digital transformation in adult learning. Our comprehensive approach empowered migrant women with practical tools to build resilience, enhance digital skills, and thrive in their new environments across Europe.
