FEMMEPOWERMENT is a project that aims to improve the digital skills of women over 50 in crowdfunding and match-funding to add value to their position in the labour market and strengthen companies engaged in Corporate Social Responsibility activities.

The project, lasting 18 months, is funded by the European Union, Erasmus + programme, Action KA210-ADU – Small-scale partnerships in adult education, and is developed in Spain and Italy thanks to a partnership formed by the Microlab Association, Impact Hub Madrid, Open Impact and the European Crowdfunding network.

The aim of the project is the implementation of a training standard for the acquisition of crowdfunding and match-funding skills and their integration with traditional CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility or Corporate Social Responsibility strategies. This will allow on the one hand women over 50 to acquire a unique set of skills, improving their position in the labour market, and on the other hand to strengthen companies by combining their traditional commitment to socially useful initiatives with a broader and increasing degree of transparency and visibility.

The innovativeness of the project lies precisely in the integration of crowdfunding with the more traditional CSR strategies of the various companies.

The pilot project, aimed at 25 women over 50, will develop and test a standardised learning course on crowdfunding and CSR strategies for women already in employment. The course will be integrated into working hours and thus included as professional development for the beneficiary women, adapted to the needs of the companies and developed in Italian and Spanish.

Are you a company or a woman over 50 and want to participate in the project?
