LAB4GE PROJECT 2020-2023

Learn Abroad to do Better at home for Gender Equality

ERASMUS+ 2020-1-HU01-KA204-078745

Background

In the Erasmus+ 'Learn Abroad to do Better at home for Gender Equality' strategic partnership project, partners from six European countries (Hungary, Denmark, Italy, UK, Romania and Spain) will work together, share methodologies and best practices on how they can effectively contribute to gender equality and the women's empowerment agenda in Europe.

Partners believe that gender equality is fundamental to delivering on the promises of sustainability, peace and human progress as it is framed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030.

During the 32 month long project period, 4 participatory visits and 1 international training course will provide opportunities to learn about gender concepts and develop knowledge, skills and wider competencies to promote social development and enhance entrepreneurial performance of girls and women.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of this partnership is to collect new tools, exchange best practices and views on how to confront gender inequity and inequality, and raise awareness among local communities.
The main objectives of the project are:

To transfer the best practices to counteract gender inequity and women entrepreneurship
To obtain new tools and methodologies to counteract gender inequity and women entrepreneurship
To increase the level of awareness about gender inequity and women entrepreneurship
To strengthen alliances at the regional, national, and European levels with entities that fight to gender inequality.

Outputs

During the online kick-off meeting in October 2020, partners agreed to support mainstreaming gender equality by creating a Policy Commitment Paper and a Methodological Guideline, while building local networks to promote gender equality and equity.
