At Anna Lindh Foundation Forum, we have proudly contributed to the panel: “CHALLENGING GENDER STEREOTYPES: WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT IN THE EURO-MED REGION.”

As part of this inspiring discussion, I presented our work with the

“SEEDS PROJECT – EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND DIGITAL SKILLS”.

SEEDS Project was designed to address gender stereotypes head-on, equipping women from across the Euro-Med region with the entrepreneurial mindset and digital competencies needed to thrive in today’s economy.

Through tailored training, mentoring, and hands-on opportunities – including recent transformative experiences like the Egypt or Jordan Mobilities – we were seeing real impact: women not only gain new skills, but are also accessing international opportunities and stepping into leadership roles.

By bringing together experts, practitioners, and change-makers, this panel highlighted the urgent need for collaborative action. We shared strategies and success stories that prove gender barriers can be broken, and women everywhere can become powerful agents of change.

Thank you to all participants and to the Anna Lindh Foundation for creating a platform where innovation, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue can grow.

So, let’s keep working together to advance women’s empowerment and build a more equal Euro-Med region!
