MW-Sonet – Mentoring rural women through social networking

MW-SONET is a Leoanrdo da Vinci, Transfer of Innovation project. The project is co-funded by the European Commission.

The main aim of MW-Sonet is to involve and stimulate women to become active participants of local community life, to become mentors for other rural woman and all the rural community. A specific aim is to help rural women empower themselves in order to gain more integration into the social infrastructure and be more active in influencing their social and economical environment. We plan to build a social network for international rural women-mentors to share ideas, knowledge and skills, and empower ourselves. MW-Sonet encourages the participants to share ideas in local, national and international communities. Women-mentors will be trained and a network of rural mentors will be established. Outcomes will have a positive impact of rural women for social improvement, self-education and life long learning, improving self-esteem awareness of their own special knowledge and of the needs to change.

We would like to use BARCAMP to invite an international community to find out solutions, how we can make eLearning and networking with social web to get more women (and men) from rural regions to become active citizens and to develop - personally, professionally, socially, with the global aim to make rural areas more attractive.

We invite you to share your ideas with us!
