Project Summary

Internet and new technologies have a central place in our daily lives, so it is necessary to promote the use and access to this digital environment for all citizens. The European Union and the different administrations of the countries that compose it promote the use of ICTs by young people as a means to facilitate their labor inclusion and participation in politics.
The main objective of our project is to support and encourage the use of ICT from a gender perspective. The target group we target is the group of female migrant adolescents from countries outside of Europe, in which the difficulties of their situation in terms of access to these technologies are compounded by gender discrimination and different cultural backgrounds.

The project will develop different activities such as:

• The exchange of good practices among the youth workers of the participating organizations.
• The development of a network at European level to facilitate the use of technologies by young migrant adolescent women, integrated not only by project partners but also by other partner organizations.
• The training of workers and youth leaders on gender equality in the use of ICTs and in the fight against gender stereotypes that exist in social networks so that they apply this knowledge in their daily work with the project’s target group.
• The development of a European web portal with all kinds of educational material and guides on the use of ICT for immigrant adolescents with special emphasis on gender equality.

A training course will be developed for youth workers, youth leaders and volunteers that will focus on the development of competences on the use of digital technologies by immigrant adolescent women and on good practices in gender equality in access to these technologies. Twenty attendees will participate of the five organizations that form the consortium.

These students will inform and sensitize workers and volunteers of other organizations about the conclusions and experiences that will be acquired in the training activity, as well as about the objectives of the project. A total of 200 workers in the field of youth will benefit from this activity.

Through the development of the different activities of the project, it is planned to train and support more than 500 female migrant adolescents to use digital technologies as a means of social inclusion. In addition, educational documents and guides on the web portal will provide training and information to a large number of immigrant adolescent women throughout Europe, which will facilitate the use and access to digital technologies without gender differences.

To achieve the intended objectives, public bodies, educational institutions and other NGOs will collaborate in the dissemination of the results and in a better approach to the group of immigrant adolescent women.

The partnership is formed by five organizations from different countries: INNETICA of Spain, DRUSTVO ZA RAZVIJANJE PROSTOVOLJNEGA DELA NOVO MESTO of Slovenia, TERRAM PACIS of Norway, Associação Sójovem das Saibreiras of Portugal and “Io, Noi” of Italy.
