The 3rd transnational online meeting of the ‘RE-FEM – Upskilling pathways for REsiliency in the post-Covid era for FEMale Entrepreneurs’ (2022-1-HU01-KA220-ADU-000089295) project was held on 17-19 September 2024 with the involvement of all 8 partners. The RE-FEM project is coordinated by HETFA. The project aims to empower women entrepreneurs through need-based training for maintaining resilient businesses in the post-covid era. The project also wants to serve the needs of the trainers and mentors in business support and entrepreneurship working in the field of adult education by providing easily accessible, high quality and transformative training tools.

During the transnational meeting, the consortium overviewed the progress of important deliverables of the project, such as the RE-FEM Training Manual and Online course. The training materials are created to support trainers/educators/mentors to train women entrepreneurs and provide them excellent opportunities to improve their skills and competencies in conducting their business in times of crises, and maintain proper work-life balance. The Online Course targeting women entrepreneurs  will enhance their digital skills, business skills, learning skills, competence in innovation, servitization, personal and professional resilience. Moreover, the consortium dedicated time to the discussion of the upcoming work package, aiming to provide recommendations for national and EU level policy, that stimulates women entrepreneurship and addresses the challenges women entrepreneurs have faced in the post-covid area, with particular attention on women entrepreneurs being in vulnerable situations. Furthermore, the participants discussed the upcoming events, where RE-FEM will be present; these are the European SME week and the Erasmus+ Day.
