Project summary:

Compared to before Covid, digitalisation has moved on, but based on previous research carried out in the V4 countries, the digital literacy of women and families in the region is lagging behind. This situation has also been confirmed by data from the EU.

Digitalization occupies an important place among the European Union and national objectives and has a high value creating effect. Digital technologies change our lives, we communicate differently, we live differently, and we work differently.

There are women and families with fewer opportunities who do not yet have sufficient digital skills to make a contribution to the digital transition of countries. That is why women and families need to increase their knowledge and self-confidence in relation to digitalization and with our project we aim to help them achieve this goal.

In the implementation of our project “Women, Family, Career - Digital Solutions in Adult Learning” a public benefit organization and 3 civil organizations worked together.

The task of the partners, coming from 3 countries (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia), was the research and collection of digital solutions used in different areas, which are available but not well known and can be used for women and families. We have prepared the "Collection of Digital Applications for Women and Families" material to be based on jointly defined principles and we have prepared the “Guide for Using the Digital Applications Collection". After the compilation, the partners from the 3 countries exchanged the digital applications among themselves. The completed compilation serves as training material.

Our “products” are intended for the use by the organisations involved in the partnership, as well as for use at national level in their countries. They include a proposal for mutual exchange, further development, and progressive learning. This innovative solution includes the Collection, the Guide and the Exchange, which is also an exchange of good practices.

At the start of the project an opening meeting and conference was organised in Budapest in June 2023. The next transnational event took place in Prague in November 2023 after the completion of the collection by each country. The final dissemination event presented the results of the project in Budapest in July 2024.

In our project "Women, Families, Careers - Digital solutions in adult learning" we followed the EU dimension (guidelines, rules, policies, directives, declarations) and those to be applied by the 3 countries on national level.

The project is implemented simultaneously in the 3 participating countries with mainly online tools, which ensures that we involved a large audience from these countries, thanks to the active participation of the 4 partner organisations and the mobilisation of their network of contacts.

The objectives, activities and results can be followed on the partners’ websites and FB sites as well as on EU platforms.
