Common activities for all organizations:

A mini e-learning course held in the participant institutions, focused on women-related issues. Each partner will prepare individual exercises (dependant on respective creativity and resources). Course participants will be the women learners; it will last two school years. After signing up via an e-learning platform (provided by the coordinator), every partner will have to do the prepared exercises. The exercises will improve the knowledge of partnership institutions’ representatives and the women learners and support innovative ITC learning methods.
The lessons will be given by qualified trainers, via workshops, lectures and other subject-oriented meetings.
