Abstract

The Erasmus+ Nefeli Project held a weeklong training (September 21-25, 2020) for women from all walks of life and welcomed over 25 participants. Women from the UK, Europe and abroad attended the training and engaged in lifelong learning using the arts and intangible cultural heritage practice, learning about techniques that they can apply in their contexts. Nefeli's training was an exchange of know-how and material of Non-Formal Learning activities between organisations of the consortium and focussed on offering the participants a way to improve their methods and quality of work and gain more results in terms of agency for women from vulnerable communities.The participants all gained a Europass Mobility certificates as well CPD certificates. Prior to the training the team held a social media campaign where we asked Roma and migrant women to answer three questions around what lifelong learning means.

Summary

Part 2 – Capturing views on education

In the second part of the questionnaire, participants were asked about the structure of the program, what impressions they left and if it helped them, if they have participated in something similar in the past, what they found useful and what they did not suggest and what they would suggest for future training. The largest percentage had participated in similar programs in the past through its cooperation with partner organizations and only a small percentage had never attended. All women showed a great interest in continuing to attend similar programs, as they strengthen selfconfidence, gain knowledge, help them realize issues related to their lives, how to deal with their families and develop friendships with women who face the same challenges. We can be the first to start the change in empowerment. How to do this? How to convince their families? Where to start? How can they do this without having to change tradition or offend others?
