International Conference in Amsterdam

Women 2000-IV
ECONOMIC CRISIS; THE TURNING POINT FOR WOMEN

The Conference is organized by WOMEN 2000 and will take place on July 8th and 9th.
I intend to present the results of our project to the participants .
Here is the summary of my paper:

Entrepreneurship is one of the 8 Key Competences meant to assure the building of the European Knowledge Based Society.
To what extent are the European citizens aware of the opportunities open to them by acquiring entrepreneurship competences? What is to be done in order to make them willing to acquire new skills and competences when they reach a certain age? Which are the most affected categories by lack of key competences?
Our partnership made up of institutions from France, Hungary and Romania, was meant to answer some of these questions by studying the actual situation of women aged 45-55 who are either not satisfied with their actual job or who are unemployed.
Thus we elaborated a survey related to the complexity of the situation in France, Hungary and Romania aiming at getting a panoramic view of the causes that had led these women to the position of not fully successful persons( 90 people/country interviewed).
We also elaborated a course meant to develop entrepreneurship skills, course attended by over 200 women.
The project results were presented on the project website , during the international conference on the theme “International Conference on Key Competences - Globalization and Labour Market Integration”, http://www.g2entrepreneurship.eu , and in the volume of the conference which was attended by 115 people form 8 European countries.
The feedbacks related to the workshops and to the international conference, published on the project Blog point out the beneficial role of our work:
