BFW Took Part in an International Meeting Held under the MyPath Project

9 May, 2023 | news

Rosena Ivanova and Aleh Stankova, from the Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) team, participated in a highly impactful meeting held in Lisbon. Prior to this event, Rosena had also been involved in training for trainers under the MyPath Project in Bochum, Germany. MyPath, co-funded by Erasmus+, focuses on capacity building and empowerment of skilled migrant and ethnic minority women, aiming to enhance their employability and integration in their host countries. With the MyPath Project background, BFW brought valuable insights and expertise to the Lisbon meeting, dedicated to advancing women’s empowerment.

Let’s explore these initiatives in more detail and their positive outcomes at the Lisbon meeting.

One crucial aspect of the meeting’s agenda was the preparation for the creation of role model videos aimed at providing migrant and ethnic minority women with authentic ideas, approaches, and schemes for personal and professional development. BFW, along with the other project partners, recognized the importance of showcasing success stories that would resonate with all stakeholders involved.

Each partner, including BFW, will produce a role model video featuring skilled migrant and ethnic minority women. These videos aimed to highlight the extent to which the program supported their goals and expectations. The content of the videos was adaptable to local focal points and target groups in the partner countries, ensuring relevance and effectiveness.

By producing these role model videos, BFW and its partners aim to inspire and motivate women, demonstrating the possibilities for personal growth and success. These videos would serve as a valuable resource for empowerment, providing diverse perspectives and aspirations for women from migrant and ethnic minority backgrounds.

As these role model videos are completed and uploaded to the BFW YouTube channel, we invite everyone to watch and engage with these powerful stories of success and resilience. By supporting and sharing these videos, you can contribute to the visibility and impact of migrant and ethnic minority women, helping to inspire others and create a more inclusive society. Together, let’s celebrate their achievements, learn from their experiences, and continue to champion women’s empowerment.

Stay tuned to the BFW YouTube channel for the release of these impactful role model videos and join us in our mission to empower women and foster a world where every woman can thrive and fulfill her potential.

Remember, your support can make a difference. Together, we can create a more inclusive and empowered future for all.
