About the Project (GRL PWR)

EUROMEDITERRANEAN GIRL POWER (GRL PWR) is a youth project coordinated by AVER (Tunisia) in partnership with Witness Center (Palestine), AICEM (Italy) and ASES (Spain). GRL PWR is co-funded by the Erasmus + programme of the European Union. The project aims to empower young women with transversal competences, which favor their personal and professional growth, enhancing their possibility to contribute to the development of the society. To favor this process, partners have identified a path to create and test an educational programme based on NFE methodology that foresees main phases.

Main Phases

A meeting to formally start the project. It is an opportunity for all project team members to meet and get to know each other well.
This activity is a capacity building for youth workers on entrepreneurship skills and gender issues to stimulate their creativity and critical thinking and prototyping the content of the educational app.
During this phase, the participants will concretely transform what they learn into practices by using competences acquired. Participants, singularly or in team, have to propose an initiative to disseminate/multiply the content of the TC in 2 different ways: 1) realizing an activity of education based on the educational programme on the prototype of the app with girls and young women of their community; 2) start a new action for his/her personal development in one of the three areas: private, professional or civic.
The main aim of the meeting is to conduct an evaluation made of two main steps: In the first part will be done an internal evaluation of the local initiatives implemented. The second part will be dedicated to use all the feedback to finalize the educational programme and prepare all the input to terminate the online app.
The event will be a conference, which will involve different stakeholders such as representatives of the formal education system (universities, schools), local authorities, representatives of third sector organizations, representatives of enterprises. The final conference will be an occasion to reflect on entrepreneurial skills for young women and girls with a focus on the situation of young women.
This is an extended activity throughout the entire project timeline. It aims to produce the intellectual output of the project, which is an educational app in youth work context.
