Breaking silos, promoting young migrant and refugee women’s access to vocational training and labour market opportunities through social economy.
Momentum reduces barriers faced by migrant and refugee women undergoing the process of socio-economic integration.
By using a gender-sensitive approach, Momentum brings together the most relevant stakeholders - civil society organisations, governmental and non-governmental organisations, employment centres, educational institutions, social economy organisations and entrepreneurs - to generate impact and social change through dynamic collaboration.
In partnership with local stakeholders in five EU countries – Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Hungary– Momentum will deliver vocational training to young migrant and refugee women, equipping them with educational and entrepreneurial skills and tools to enter the job market.
Momentum is a 24-months programme, implemented from January 2022 to December 2023, and funded by the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
Key Outcomes
At the end of 2023, we expect to have achieved the following outcomes:
-
Key Stakeholders
will have taken part in 5 Participatory Labs and 29 workshops with the aim to improve their cooperation in promoting and delivering integrated services to young refugee and migrant women.
-
