TCN women, which are representing the 45% of refugees in EU, have lower activity and employment rates, a higher risk of poverty and are more likely to be in lower skilled occupations. Most of them face particular integration challenges associated with lower education and labour market outcomes compared to refugee men. A main reason is that they are coming from countries with high gender inequality and low employment rates for women. Therefore, an effective integration process of these women in the new social environment, can contribute to their social and economic inclusion. UCLL leads this project along with 10 organizations from 9 countries aimed to increase TCN women’s capability for entering the labour market and social life of the host society. The above will be achieved via the organization of Up-Skilling workshops, Job Shadowing Programme and Cross-cultural activities. The direct and indirect target groups are TCN women, LMS, TCNs and local citizens (women and men), professionals, policy makers, NGOs and the general public. The total number of people, who will directly and indirectly benefit estimated at approximately 5000. Finally, horizontal activities aim to achieve management & coordination through 10 Bilateral Agreements, 1 Project Management Plan, 4 Partnership Meetings and 4 Activity Reports. Moreover, evaluation will be achieved through external evaluation, 1000 at least collected questionnaires from all participants and 4 Evaluation Reports. A dissemination strategy will be devised by organizing awareness activities and an E-platform served as open learning and network environment. The expected results reflect the Call’s objectives: to support the socioeconomic integration of TCN women by providing paths for entering the labour market, promote exchanges between the host society and TCNs, facilitate the transfer of experience on integration at EU level and the dissemination of integration measures for TCN women beyond the partnership.
