Empowering Women, Driving Growth

The IDEAS4WOMEN project aims to improve digital literacy and industry-related skills among underemployed women in rural areas in Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Greece. It plans to train vulnerable women in four or more topics related to essential skills and technologies through hybrid/blended learning from 01/10/2023 to 01/11/2024. The project will identify the areas where vulnerable women need help through research and create multilingual educational material adapted for physical and hybrid learning. It will engage industry and academia stakeholders to gather insights, conduct face-to-face and online workshops, and gather feedback to improve the material. The project will also create an online platform to host the educational content for at least two years after the project ends.

Models for Advancing the Digital Inclusion of Seniors

The MADIS project aims to find out what prevents senior citizens from participating in training courses that will help them acquire the necessary digital skills. These skills are necessary to participate in social and cultural life, keep up to date with current developments, take care of their health, carry out everyday tasks such as online shopping and bookings, combat loneliness and alleviate isolation.
It also aims to collect transferable best practice models of training providers and training courses that were able to overcome these barriers and successfully engage senior citizens in acquiring or expanding their digital skills.

Erasmus+ KA2
Training For Professionals Working In Inclusive Tourism

The T4proIN project was born with the aim of increasing the accessibility of the tourism sector in all its branches. People with disabilities often cannot travel on their own because the communication barriers they encounter are too pervasive: information is not in easy-to-read language, announcements are only broadcast with audio, "wheelchair-friendly" hotel rooms have mirrors and sinks that are impossible to reach. These are just a few examples of impediments that people with disabilities face when traveling, in luxury establishments but not only.
All workers in the tourism sector, thanks to the T4proIN project, will be able to learn how to offer more inclusive services for different types of disabilities (more or less obvious). All users will also be able to have an instant view of the accessible places closest to them thanks to a handy digital map and, once on site, express their comments on the forum.
