NOW project
nowmooc.eu
The European Erasmus+ Project NOW – New opportunities for Women – is a transnational network
within the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, France, Spain, Iceland, and Portugal, which
provides guidance and support to women with a migrant background. More specifically, the NOW
Project connects these migrant women with other women-role models in each society and provides
ongoing educational meetings to build leadership skills.
NOW aims to inspire women with female role models and leaders in local communities. Through
video profiles, case studies and inspirational stories, the NOW partners developed a range of
educational materials and self-development tools to help migrant women embrace leadership roles
in all aspects of their lives.
The project has created a transnational network of valuable support through peer learning, by
sharing experiences and by discussing emerging good practices. This has enabled the creation of a
unique online community, in which women can access support and advice to overcome challenges
they face.
This online platform enables women to access a range of educational materials to support women
recognise their strengths and qualities as leaders, and to develop their leadership skills. The
materials included on this platform inspire and encourage migrant women to take the next steps
into leadership roles in their own lives, to take ownership of their lives and their careers, and to
gain the skills and support they need to achieve their goals.
