The WIDE Consortium has successfully piloted the four training modules and related resources developed during the first year of project’s implementation, to exhort and support women living in rural areas to create their own online business.
Each partner has reached representatives of the target group and stakeholders at local and national level to test the quality and relevance of the WIDE Training Toolkit and collect feedback. Participants expressed overwhelming satisfaction with the initiative and its concrete results, highlighting its practical approach and real-world relevance.
Encouraged by the success of the pilot sessions, partners committed to expanding the WIDE Training Toolkit to reach more women entrepreneurs in rural areas. For this purpose, the Consortium developed operational and straightforward Guidelines to support trainers and educators in the exploitation of the WIDE training resources. The document is now available online and, by leveraging on the WIDE project’s experience and lessons learnt, guides users through the following topics:
Training programme structure
Structuring training initiatives
Designing training curriculum
Recruitment and enrollment strategies
Attracting and enrolling participants

AMTech proudly presents the official project result, the European Aviation Aerospace Mechatronics Passport—a transformative tool connecting the AMTech curriculum with essential European frameworks. This passport establishes concrete linkages between the AMTech curriculum, ESCO’s occupational profile, skills and competences, EUROPASS, and EURES, ensuring a seamless integration into the broader European context.
The passport serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking recognition of their skills and competences, enhancing employability prospects across European borders. By aligning with established European frameworks, the AMTech project aims to facilitate the mobility of skilled mechatronics technicians within the aviation aerospace industry, fostering a dynamic and interconnected workforce.
The development of the first “European Aviation Aerospace Mechatronics Passport – EAAMP”, represents the fourth and final result of the AMTech project – Development of an aviation aerospace mechatronics technician curriculum.
The specific content and outline of Project Result 4 (henceforth, PR4) is informed by the evidences and results compiled by partners throughout the previous cycles of project’s implementation:
the transnational needs assessment for identification of trends and dynamics in the aviation aerospace industry, and related in-demand competences for employability and professional development in the industry
the consolidation of a comprehensive, holistic and systemic VET curriculum addressing the education and training areas of interest to access and operate in the job market(s) of advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS):
Full access to the transnational needs analysis, the curriculum (learning areas of interest, Goals, Professional competences to be achieved and outline of education and training content) and the passport itself, is available via the official OER (Open Education Resource) platform of the project: www.amtechtraining.eu.
The content of these document provides for three (3) additional resources:
ESCO-compliant profiling of the AM TECH curriculum – extrapolation and benchmarking from the ESCO platform of competences that complements the proposed curriculum and provide for specific descriptors of the associated skills and knowledge. The linkages will allow for greater transparency and transferability of the curriculum in the EU labour market, while setting a common “dictionary” of reference for the qualification at transnational level of this professional profile.
EURES-based narrative definition of the new profile and occupation – consolidating the interoperability of the AM TECH’ specialist and its description within the EURES system. The intervention of the project on the EURES dimension allows employers to crystalize the specific terminology bridging the dynamics of supply and demand, and ease the engagement of talents.
EUROPASS-standardised description of the AM TECH’ specialist – valorisation and promotion of the AM TECH-inspired professional profile in a standard CV format for jobseeking and employability. Altogether, these three separate deliverables contribute to ease the into-action operationalisation of the AM TECH’ profile, and most importantly, the effectiveness and efficiency of matching dynamics between supply and demand within the relevant job market(s).

Bridging Gender Gaps and Boosting Global Competitiveness
E4F, Femmes Chefs d’entreprise à l’Export hors de l’EU, is a Project co-funded by the Erasmus Plus Programme of the European Commission, which brings together 7 partners from 5 different countries (France, Italy, Slovenia, Belgium, Spain).
The PR4 phase of the E4F project has marked a significant milestone, encompassing two critical components that have advanced the project’s mission of empowering women-led SMEs and fostering internationalization in the VET environment:
a) E4F Public Policy Report: This comprehensive document serves as a repository of valuable insights gathered during the project’s implementation. It consolidates knowledge on internationalization dynamics, strategic management, and female entrepreneurship within VET environments. The report distills the lessons learned, offering a wealth of information that can guide future initiatives in these areas.
b) E4F Guidelines for Uptaking: These guidelines are an invaluable resource that outlines the successful aspects of the project, providing a roadmap for what worked well and areas where improvements can be made. They encompass a wide range of elements, including training organization, communication with target groups, enrolment, classroom management, blended learning, online delivery, learner motivation, and feedback. These guidelines are intended to facilitate the integration of E4F training into organizations outside the partnership, creating a lasting impact.
PR4 marked a significant step forward in terms of innovation and systemic impact, particularly in the domains of ICT, finance, law, and strategic management for global internationalization opportunities. Importantly, it extended the reach of E4F beyond the geographical and temporal borders of the partnership, promoting the transferability and adaptability of project results to other actors in education, training, and policy.
What sets PR4 apart is its commitment to inclusivity. The deliverables, including the E4F Public Policy Report and Guidelines for Uptaking, are available in five languages, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience. They are provided in open access and free versions, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing in the fields of training, consultancy, strategic management, internationalization, SME competitiveness, and female entrepreneurship empowerment.
The project is nearing a successful conclusion, as reflected in the statistics of visits to the OER platform, the massive follow-up of the training courses and the feedback received by users and stakeholders at the many events at which the project has been presented.
All partners actively participated in the meeting, reviewing the latest steps towards the closure of the project and exploring new possibilities for future collaboration. More information: https://www.e4f-network.eu/

Partner organisations met in Helsinki to update each other on the progress of the project and prepare to launch the new Vademecum for Slow Navigation!
On 23 October, the third transnational partner meeting of the ‘Offline – How to quit with social media’ project was held in Helsinki. The meeting this time was hosted by the Finnish organisation ‘Learning for integration’ and coordinated by Marja-Lisa Helenius.
The respective project leaders were able to directly discuss the progress of the project and especially the latest project result, namely the Vademecum for Slow Navigation.
The Vademecum for Slow Navigation is intended to be a manual for gradual detoxification from social media with the aim of helping people to limit and reduce the time spent on social media.
In fact, over the past few weeks, after working out the general structure and agreeing on the different thematic sections of this last intellectual product, all partners have been working on the development of the section assigned to them.
The meeting was therefore crucial to review all the contributions and start systematising them in order to arrive at the final version that is expected to be ready by the end of November and uploaded on the OER platform by december 2023.
But the meeting was not all business! The partners were able to exchange views and new ideas for future collaborations, as well as enjoy pleasant breaks and a few walks around Helsinki’s attractions!
See you soon with the latest project news, in the meantime discover the courses of the Offline project available in the Training section of the platform!

El proyecto Digital Entrepreneurship for Women (DEW), financiado por el programa Erasmus+ de la Unión Europea, se complace en anunciar la conclusión con éxito del componente final de su programa, las Recomendaciones Políticas y Directrices para Nuevos Emprendimientos (Resultado del Proyecto 4). Con este último paso, el proyecto DEW finaliza el 01 de noviembre de 2023, marcando un hito crucial en la promoción del espíritu empresarial de las mujeres en un mundo post-pandémico.
El proyecto DEW destaca por su capacidad para responder a los retos a los que se enfrentan las mujeres que aspiran a crear y desarrollar su propia empresa. DEW se dirige a todas las mujeres empresarias, sea cual sea su sector de actividad. Ofrece recursos educativos, formación y recomendaciones políticas para apoyar a las mujeres que desean crear su propia empresa.
El proyecto DEW está estrechamente alineado con las prioridades clave del programa Erasmus+, incluidas la inclusión y la diversidad en la educación y la formación, la transformación digital, la adaptación de la formación profesional a las necesidades del mercado laboral y el aumento de la flexibilidad de las oportunidades de formación profesional.
En consecuencia, los objetivos del proyecto DEW abarcan los siguientes elementos:
Inclusión: DEW aborda el problema de la exclusión social y económica de las mujeres, en particular las de entornos marginados que no tienen acceso a recursos para adquirir o reforzar sus capacidades empresariales. Los Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA) de DEW están diseñados para ser accesibles y mejorar significativamente las oportunidades de las mujeres emprendedoras, al tiempo que refuerzan a los socios del proyecto, así como a los proveedores locales, nacionales y europeos de apoyo al emprendimiento y de formación profesional.
Digital: DEW se basa en el apoyo a la iniciativa empresarial digital, ofreciendo oportunidades para aumentar las competencias digitales. Los recursos de DEW serán un activo importante para las usuarias y también contribuirán a la política aplicando una perspectiva de género al marco ENTRECOMP.
Adaptabilidad y flexibilidad: DEW proporcionará una plataforma flexible y adaptable para el desarrollo de habilidades empresariales, sea cual sea el sector o la naturaleza de la empresa.
Contribución a la política: DEW aporta una perspectiva de género a la cuestión del espíritu empresarial y los obstáculos a los que se enfrentan las mujeres empresarias. El proyecto crea una comunidad paneuropea de prácticas sobre la cuestión y consolida el aprendizaje y los resultados en un formato que puede enriquecer y reforzar las nuevas iniciativas políticas en el ámbito del espíritu empresarial de las mujeres.
El proyecto DEW está firmemente posicionado como una solución operativa a los retos a los que se enfrentan las empresarias existentes y potenciales en un mundo post-pandémico. Al elevar las prioridades del programa Erasmus+ y poner en práctica sus objetivos, DEW no solo ha reforzado las oportunidades para las mujeres empresarias en diversos sectores, sino que también ha abierto nuevas vías para la promoción del espíritu empresarial femenino en Europa.
El proyecto DEW celebró su clausura con una última reunión transnacional en Málaga, donde el socio español, IWS, dio una calurosa bienvenida a todos los socios. La reunión fue una oportunidad para compartir logros, experiencias y perspectivas para el futuro del espíritu empresarial de las mujeres en Europa.

On October 20 took place the IV Opportunity morning, organized by the Arrabal AID Association and the Mangas Verdes Neighbourhood Association. More than 800 young people participated in the initiative and were the protagonists of the activities organized in the streets of Mangas Verdes.
The aim of the day and the street market was to inform young people of all the resources and possibilities that exist for them: professional opportunities, computer skills, education, entrepreneurship, international mobility, volunteering and civic engagement were promoted by 42 exhibitors and a parallel program with thirty activities in this cultural fair organized in Malaga.
Internet Web Solutions promoted its Erasmus+ projects focused on youth entrepreneurship, digital skills, empowerment of women, promotion of digital culture, digital inclusion in the corner of international mobility projects, exchanges and language immersion initiatives of the cultural fair, along with other local associations experts in the field.
Among the projects related to digital culture, the project “Digi.muse – Education in small museums: digital solutions for a renewed accessibility” stood out and attracted great interest from the public.
The project is aimed at small museums, which play a fundamental role in formal and non-formal education; moreover, their role is a priority to carry out concrete integration actions, thanks to the link they have with the territory and the community, and thanks to their ability to welcome and offer original experiences to visitors. Among the results achieved during the development of the project, we highlight the manual and the matrix of good practices that collect the digital solutions used in museums, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, low cost solutions and much more information that facilitates the digitization of the educational and artistic offer in small museums and the attraction of many young people and visitors, so that they can participate in more cultural events and know more and more small museums that are full of works and innovations to discover.
During the event, Monia Coppola from Internet Web Solutions (IWS) gave an interview to Onda Color of Malaga explaining all the opportunities, training solutions and Erasmus+ Projects offered by the entity, devoting special attention to Digi.muse that was also very interesting for the interviewer.
