GIRLS4ECONOMY

• Provide general support in the development of the methodology and tools.
• Coordinate the “Train the Trainers” program, which will involve 12 teachers from the four partner countries.
• Organize the pilot activities in Romania.
• Evaluate the materials and final projects for the pilots competition.
• Support communication and dissemination efforts, promoting the project results.

Work Package 1 – Project Management:

• Overall project management.
• Reporting activities.

Work Package 2 – Methodology, Tools, and Pilot Activities:

• Develop a methodology and tools to support teachers in working with young people, especially girls aged 13-18.
• Organize a 3-day training session (“Train the Trainers”) in Romania for 12 teachers from the four partner countries. During this training, educators will learn about the developed guidelines, collaborate, and provide input to finalize the methodology and tools.
• Conduct pilot activities in each of the four participating countries, involving 30 young people and 3 teachers per country. These activities will take the form of a competition, with the best projects showcased at the final conference in Poland.

Work Package 3 – Dissemination and Communication:

• Promote the project results.
• Organize a final project conference in Poland.

• A methodology for educators, teachers, and volunteers on how to work with youth (aged 13-18), particularly girls from minor towns and restructured areas.
• Practical tools to support youth in developing digital and network competences through a project-based approach.
• 12 educators trained through the Train the Trainers program.
• 120 young participants and 12 educators engaged in pilot activities, implementing the methodology and tools.
• 15 youth-led projects focused on virtual networks and digital skills, developed as part of the pilot activities.
• 100 participants attending the final conference, including partners, teachers, educators, youth workers, representatives from educational institutions, higher education institutions (HEIs), schools, students, and local authorities.

The Girls4Economy project will create lasting educational resources that will be actively used by various organizations, ensuring long-term impact.

• WSB will integrate the developed methodology and tools into youth-focused initiatives such as the annual Science Festival and Open Academy of Science, reaching approximately 1,200 students each year.
• MRU will incorporate the materials into pedagogy courses, training future educators on how to support young girls in developing digital skills and leadership potential.
• TFC will promote the project’s knowledge and outcomes among employees and cluster members, raising awareness about the importance of supporting young girls as future business leaders.
• ReS will leverage its extensive school network to promote and implement the project’s results in classrooms and extracurricular activities.
• Schools involved in the project will integrate the materials into their curricula, allowing students to develop digital and network skills as part of their education.
• Universities across Europe may adopt the methodology in management and pedagogy classes, as well as in extracurricular activities for youth.
• Local governments, educational institutions, and other public bodies across Europe will have access to the project materials in English, enabling broader adoption.

By addressing socio-digital exclusion, Girls4Economy will empower young people – especially girls from minor towns and restructured areas – to develop essential digital and network competences, preparing them for leadership roles in the modern economy. The project will connect and educate youth from diverse socio-economic backgrounds across four countries: Poland’s restructured Silesian industrial areas, Romania’s multicultural Transylvanian agricultural regions, Lithuania’s satellite towns around Vilnius, and traditionally industrialized areas in Czechia. The pilot activities, structured as an international project-based competition, will serve as a model of good practice, demonstrating how digital and network skills training can be effectively implemented in regions undergoing economic transformation. Schools and partners will integrate project materials into their curricula, ensuring that the methodology and tools continue to be used in formal and non-formal education settings even after the project ends. Additionally, youth workers and educators will disseminate the knowledge further, fostering an ongoing network of collaboration. The project’s impact will extend beyond its initial scope, as HEIs and schools will not only improve their curricula but also strengthen cooperation with youth.
