About the project
There are still strong gender stereotypes, gender hierarchies and gender inequalities existing in European societies, making it difficult for young women to participate in the same way as men in the labour market, in politics or decision making.
The project takes inspiration from the fact that several Euro-Mediterranean countries, women leaders in various industries, are already taking concrete steps to achieve more sustainable business practices along with a positive social impact, helping the community to create sustainable change through re-thinking, repairing, reusing and recycling.
For this reason, the primary goal of the ELEVATE project is to provide young women with a Program specifically designed to increase their abilities to plan their business using circular economy and sustainability as principles to make their ventures “future proof”.

Objectives & Deliverables
1) Enhance young women's personal growth and social integration, boosting their motivation towards self-employment (entrepreneurship) as a means to integrate fully in society, coupled with a need/intention of acquiring the instruments to put their nascent entrepreneurial ideas into execution
2) Produce a complete program involving participants in a set of workshops, guiding participants in a collaborative, learning by doing process
3) Providing networking opportunities with local business organisations and associations will broaden their awareness of market trends and possibilities, seek advice, overcome challenges, and promote a culture of resilience and encouragement
4) Improve young women's ability to create sustainable change in their communities and in their lives, using sustainable entrepreneurship as a means for starting and expanding their businesses, helping them overcome barriers to meaningful integration and enhancing their participation as skilled members of their communities.
