EMPOWERING WOMEN IV: Youth work for young women entrepreneurship

Empowerment surely has to start from within: it relates to your POWER and LIBERTY, plus the CAPACITY and KNOWLEDGE to decide and to take action. But you surely need the OPPORTUNITY to fulfill your aims. Youth Work can thus play a fundamental role in the empowerment of women, especially in terms of providing opportunities for self-assessment, development of skills and competences and by giving practical support in the attainment of self-realization. After the great success of the previous editions in France - in 2010 with a very general approach on the role of women in society, in 2012 with a more specific analysis on women in the field of social economy, in 2013 with an emphasis on the promotion of young women employability through non-formal education – we are now moving to Turkey for dealing more specifically on the topic of entrepreneurship and the role youth work can have in its support and encouragement. In this partnership building seminar we will focus on the concept of entrepreneurship, the competences needed both for the target groups and youth workers and above all we intend to set an inter-sectorial partnership among participants for future cooperation. We intend to give visibility to the importance of youth work in this field by realizing a video of high communication impact to be spread in the networks of participating organizations, stakeholders and external society.
