YOU WEEN! project
www.youween.eu
The European project YOU WEEN! focuses on young women who face a unique combination of
educational challenges because of cultural, political, and societal factors that keep them out of
school and out of the labour market. The project’s goal is to provide effective tools to young women
in rural regions across Europe so that they take control of their life via entrepreneurship training in
sustainable development, which improves their employability, socio- educational and personal
development.
The project promotes entrepreneurship education and activities among young women raising green
thinking and sustainability awareness, promoting development in rural and/or isolated areas,
exchanging good practices and providing expertise and knowledge for women from rural areas.
IRELAND
Ireland’s National Skills Strategy 2025
assets.gov.ie/24412/0f5f058feec641bbb92d34a0a8e3daff.pdf
The Irish education and training system plays a key role in forging crucial global relationships and
building international outlook and awareness. One of the core ambitions of the National Strategy
for Higher Education to 2030 is to support the development of “internationally oriented, globally
competitive institutions”, and this is one of the seven national priorities set out for the higher
education system in the System Performance Framework97.
In particular, international mobility can play an important part in skills development. The mobility
of Irish students, staff and researchers, and the intercultural experience which this provides, assists
in the development of language and other core skills. The European Commission’s target of
ensuring that at least 20% of those who graduated in 2020 undertake a study or training period
abroad was also included in the System Performance Framework referred to earlier.
In 2011/12, 10.14% of National Framework Qualifications level 8 graduates studied or undertook a
placement abroad. This is in line with the European average. Most Higher Education students
currently studying overseas do so as part of the EU’s mobility programme Erasmus+.
