Join us to support MOVE-UP

What is this project about?

The MOVE-UP project intends to develop a flexible and quality upskilling pathway for unemployed 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 approach offers the opportunity of discovering, assessing, recognising, possibly validating, and further developing the competences they acquired thanks to the motherhood experience, therefore mostly through informal learning and daily activities.

The outcome of this process is thus the opportunity to make value out of these competences to facilitate their participation in training and possibly in the labour market, and at societal level. The focus of this path for upskilling is on the Personal, Social and
Learning to learn competence (PSL), that has already proven to be an effective driver for developing other Key Competences for lifelong learning (literacy, numeracy, and digital skills) and improve employment opportunities, through women involvement in more formalised training

Who are we?

MOVE-UP is organised by an international partnership of 6 well experienced organisations: 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 a group of 10 Associated Partners, representing policy makers, labour market, educational and Civil Society organisations (UIL – Unione Italiana del Lavoro, Forum del Terzo Settore, Università degli Studi di Udine,
Confindustria Udine, Municipality of Tripoli, Cruz Vermelha, Centro Qualifica Litoral Cávado, Associação Social Recreativa Cultural e Bem Fazer Vai Avante, ÖJAB – Österreichische JungArbeiterBewegung, Plattform für berufsbezogene
Erwachsenenbildung).
