“METHODS TO EMPOWER THE ROLE OF BALKAN WOMEN AS ACTIVE EUROPEAN CITIZENS”
 
Women in Balkans have recently obtained opportunities quite different from even a decade ago. Very few women though have realised their new potentials as European Citizens. Also, very often their low educational level in combination with the special cultural and ideological background of Balkans impede women from taking responsibilities and developing social activities although they should be in the forefront of efforts to embrace new political, social and economical relationships as their States attempt to integrate with their European neighbours.
 

Considering the observations mentioned above, the main objectives of the proposed project are
§         to examine and classify the special background, needs and difficulties of women in Balkans according to their educational level, their social and economical situation.
§         to define the contain of an training material that will be adequate to support and encourage Balkan Women’ European Integration as well as to empower the role of Balkan Women as Active European Citizens.
§         to create ways to include the training material mentioned above in all kinds of associations and organisations specialised in Women support and development in Balkans.
§         to ensure the accessibility to the training material and the project results by anyone interested through a well organised Internet site.
§         to create a network that will always provide information, exchange opinions, experience and good practices in subjects relevant to Balkan Women European Integration.
 
The co-ordinator of the project as well as the partner organisations have already defined a wide target group that intend to benefit developing and implementing this project:
 
§         Balkan women from Bulgaria, Rïmania, Cyprus and Greece. Thanks to them and their special needs and difficulties, we inspired this project… The training material that will be created, it will be used by the specialists, the trainers, the animators, the volunteers workers and the representatives of the organisations mentioned above in order to inform Balkan Women about their rights, their obligations and their potentials as Active European Citizens and empower them to participate actively in the Construction of a wide European Union where Balkan Voice will be loud and determinate.

 
Activities in order to achieve the goals of the project:
 
§         a three day workshop in Sofia (Bulgaria)
During this first workshop it will be presented and discussed the objectives, the timetable of the project and the obligations of each partner association. In addition each participant association will present its profile as well as its activities and also there will be a long and deep discussion about the Balkan Women Social and European Integration at present time. This discussion will be based on partners’ previous relevant experience, researches, studies, scientific and newspaper articles that the partners will have collected previously as a part of their obligations towards the project partnership. Finally, based on all this information mentioned above, the participants will classify the special background, needs and difficulties of women in Balkans according to their educational level, their social and economical situation in order to end to some first conclusions about the contain of the ideal training material.
 
§         a three day  workshop in Resita (Rïmania)
The main subject of Rïmania’s workshop will be the creation of the training material adequate to encourage Balkan Women European Integration and to promote European Active Citizenship.

Also, the participants will discuss about and define all the other information presented to their common website (apart of the training material) as well as the possibility of a continuous feedback of the site even after the end of the project. Last but not least, during the workshop in Cyprus, the partner organisations will examine the possibility of creating a network of cooperation and will define the terms and the objectives of this formal cooperation. 
 
During these three workshops, apart from the activities mentioned above, there will be organised short study visits and meetings with local women and organisations located in regions near the location where each workshop takes place. Through this kind of activity the partner organisations will have the chance to study by themselves all about the present situation about the Balkan Women, their difficulties, needs and perspectives regarding their future as European Citizens.
Each workshop will be organised by the coordinator association in cooperation with the partner organisation located in the town where the workshop will take place.
