The project BRIDGING THE GAP main objective is to develop new digital knowledge, skills and competences for women in rural areas in order to increase their entrepreneurial, employability and employment opportunities, at the same time fighting the gender digital divide.

OBJECTIVES

Based on this main objective, the following operational objectives are defined:

  • • To define a training path for the empowerment of rural women through the development of ICT skills for entrepreneurship.
  • • To identify the different actors in the training process and provide them with a clear pedagogical approach.
  • • To create an intervention framework for the training where all the agents involved participate and collaborate.
  • • To build an online platform that allows and ensure the training process.
  •  

This intervention structure will respond and act on the following strategic objectives:

  1. • Developing the ICTs competencies of rural women entrepreneurs.
  2. • Bringing ICT training closer to the target group, enabling their empowerment and contributing to fighting the gender digital divide
  3. • Fostering rural women’s employability through ICT skills development.

Addressed to rural female entrepreneurs (women from rural areas who accepts challenging role to meet their personal needs and become economically self-sufficient), the project will develop a MOOC that will enable the upskilling of rural women in ICTs.

OUTCOMES

The main outcome of the project will be the Bridging the Gap platform, together with the MOOC, other resources and its pedagogical model that will respond to both the programme priorities and the needs identified. But together with this, at the end of the project we will deliver other results and products that besides helping the team in the development of the project, will generate knowledge.

  • • “Bridging the Gap” training itinerary: The result of the activities developed at the beginning of the project, which define in detail the competencies, skills, knowledge and attitudes of the training.
  • • MOOC modules: Downloaded version of the MOOC modules.
  • • Manual to learn, work and collaborate in the Bridging the Gap Platform: A guide to support the learning process in the platform.
  • • Project online information area: As alternative to a website, partnership will include in the platform a specific section to contain general information about the project (objectives, partners, impact).
  • • eNewsletters: Partnership will produce 5 newsletter during project implementation. These publication will contain information about specific project tasks and also they will inform about the Bridging the Gap initiative milestones.
