About the Project - Aims and Objectives
The overall aim of the project is to strengthen women’s political participation and governance in Europe. We thereby follow the UNDP-definition of governance as the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels, comprises mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate their differences.
To approach this overall aim Empowering Women to active European citizenship will be developed as a learning programme that combines political education, intercultural learning and democracy training with a strong gender perspective.
