Project Summary

The ICT project for women in rural areas is born from a partnership results of four NGOs: AgriNatura Foundation from Poland, Kisleptek from Hungary, AMA Centar from Serbia and EcoRuralis from Romania.The main objective of this project is the exchange of good practices between partners involved in educational activities in rural areas. The target group are women – rural areas inhabitants, very often lacking basic computer or Internet skills.The lack of these basic skills in the 21st century results in a specific social exclusion (digital exclusion). The project partners have clearly identified the need to educate this weaker and defavourised social group in order to bridge a growing gap between those more educated and those lacking the basic ICT skills. The project duration is planned for two years, with four international meetings, one in every partner country. The project includes local worshops carried out by each partner, on the topics of ICT education program in the field of the computer use, Internet, social media, the web security and the resources. An important element of the workshops will be to adapt the content to the local specifics and each partner activities. Some of this topics are: Internet and rural tourism, sales through Internet of local products (like Community Supported Agriculture systems) or seed exchange platform. The project results will include: 4 newsletters informing about 4 international meetings and the ICT Vademecum – guidelines for rural women developed by the partners. The guidelines will include:
– a short computer course: Internet and social media usage
– how to search for the information, security on the web
– ICT is the key to the world: ubiquitous digitalization
– Internet platforms: how to search an offer, how to place an offer, the seed swaps, how to sell a local product.
All results will be available on the partners’ websites in the national and English languages. The results will also be uploaded to the Erasmus + Project Results Platform. The project will have a wide reach and anyone interested in this topics will have the opportunity to use the developed materials.
