Target groups
Young Women Within and Outside the European Union
The “Break the Glass Ceiling” project targets young women both within and outside the European Union, allowing for the collection of diverse cultural perspectives and the identification of common features of successful projects from the perspective of women’s needs. By examining these initiatives, the project aims to compile best practices from European Solidarity Corps (ESC) implementing organizations across different countries. It ensures that the most appropriate frameworks are developed primarily for women, while also producing results that can be generalized for all applicants, including NGOs and policymakers.
Youth Organizations
Youth organizations are key partners in disseminating the project’s findings and implementing its methodologies. With direct access to young people, they play a vital role in creating and supporting volunteering opportunities. By engaging with the project’s research, these organizations gain access to evidence-based practices that strengthen their programs. The findings also help them better understand the specific needs of young women, enabling more tailored and effective initiatives
Youth Workers
Youth workers play a crucial role in mentoring and supporting young people, making them key stakeholders in the project’s dissemination strategy. The research findings will give youth workers deeper insights into the barriers and enablers of women’s empowerment, enabling them to provide more informed and effective support.
Employees of Educational Institutions
Employees of educational institutions, including teachers, administrators, and counselors, have significant influence over young people’s development and career paths. Educators with up-to-date knowledge on gender equality and empowerment can effectively pass this knowledge on to their students, fostering awareness and supporting personal growth.
Relevant Higher Education Actors
Higher education actors, including university administrators, researchers, and faculty members, play a key role in shaping educational policies and practices. They benefit from the project’s research findings, which can inform curriculum development, guide research agendas, and contribute to the broader discourse on women’s empowerment.
Decision-Makers
Decision-makers, including policymakers, government officials, and leaders in the public and private sectors, have the authority to drive systemic change. They benefit from the project’s research findings and policy recommendations, which provide actionable insights for promoting women’s empowerment. By incorporating these recommendations into their policies, decision-makers can help create a more equitable and supportive environment for young women.
Professionals in the Social Care System
Professionals in the social care system, including social workers and healthcare providers, work directly with vulnerable populations and play a crucial role in delivering support services. The project’s findings help them understand the unique challenges faced by young women, enabling more targeted and effective support. Networking events and resource-sharing platforms allow social care professionals to exchange best practices and collaborate on initiatives, enhancing the overall quality of care.
