EMPOWERING MIGRANT WOMEN
EMPOWERING MIGRANT WOMEN
About WISER
Women, migrants and young people experience higher unemployment rates and risk of social exclusion and, at the same time, paradoxically, are underrepresented in entrepreneurship, which represents a missed opportunity for innovation, social and economic value creation, and job creation.
The purpose of WISER is to enhance the participation and effective inclusion of migrant women in the labour market through a novel, multistakeholder and multidimensional approach that focuses on reducing the barriers to social entrepreneurship and on enhancing its attractiveness as a career choice for migrant women.
Social entrepreneurship combines any private entrepreneurial activity with the creation of social value. It is the process of designing and implementing effective, innovative, and sustainable solutions to important and neglected social and environmental challenges that have negative impacts in the society. In short: it is an alternative interpretation of entrepreneurship that focuses on positive social impact rather than profit maximisation.
Over the course of 24 months, the WISER Consortium will:
A) Adapt existing support structures to provide services such as training, coaching, mentoring, networking, advice, business development, technical assistance and links to donors/investors/business angel to potential, early-stage and established migrant women social entrepreneur (WISER Hubs).
b) Empower non-EU female nationals (including beneficiaries of international protection) on relevant knowledge, skills, competences and the mindset to plan, start, run and grow businesses that pursue social objectives and become social entrepreneurs (WISER Skills Boosters).
c) Establish two multistakeholder groups that will pursue multilateral exchanges aimed at enhancing the inclusiveness of local entrepreneurship ecosystems and the entrepreneurial potential of migrant women following a bottom-up approach (WISER Communities of Practice).
