With the support of

Terrassa City Council.

The project aims to carry out a process of capacity building for members at risk of social exclusion, mainly women and young people, in order to promote their empowerment and contribute to the sustainable human development of the community.

The means to achieve this will be, on the one hand, a series of trainings and trainings that will allow us to increase the future opportunities for this group. In addition, there will be specific training and awareness-raising activities on gender equality, not only for women, but also for men and families.

On the other hand, the project will include a participatory diagnosis, which will be carried out by the beneficiaries themselves, tutored by a technical promoter in gender and participatory methodologies. The objective of this is to analyse their situation, their needs and the best way, within their possibilities, to address them.

With this diagnosis we promote the choice of a local activity that gives excluded groups access to productive resources, fostering economic independence and equal opportunities.

Local bodies support the project and the regional Ministry of Family Economy has provided technical support as well as productive materials for the productive activity to be developed.

Also included in the project is an item to continue providing scholarships for young people in the community.

What do we fund?

Project beneficiaries
The training will be offered to women and young people from the 80 families of the Augusto Cesar Sandino Cooperative. The people who will form the training groups will be the same people who will develop the participatory diagnosis.

The Gender Committee of the Augusto Cesar Sandino Cooperative as well as the board of directors of the cooperative have been involved from the beginning.

Sensitisation on gender equality will be given to women, men and youth of the co-operative. The promoters and trainers will carry out these sensitisation activities in the different parts of the community.

When does it end?
