MOVE-UP develops a flexible and quality upskilling pathway for women who are dedicating most of their time and efforts to the role of mother and who are in need to (re)join education activities and the job market.

The MOVE-UP activities offer the opportunity of assessing and further developing the Personal, Social and Learning to Learn competences (PSL) acquired thanks to motherhood experience, both to develop key competences and to promote and facilitate the access to further training and employment opportunities.

MOVE-UP is organised by an international partnership: FORMA.AZIONE, RIDAP - Rete Italiana Istruzione degli Adulti IT, APEFA - Associação Portuguesa para a Educação e Formação de Adultos, AKEP - Academy of Entrepreneurship, Die Berater Unternehmensberatung and EAEA - European Association for the Education of Adults.

The project is also supported by Associated Partners and Alliance stakeholders, representing policy makers, labour market, education, and civil society in the participating countries. Read more  about the organisations that contribute!
