Project stages
WP1: Women’s needs and institutional barriers in labour markets of peripheral industrial regions
WP1 aims to deepen the understanding of women's challenges in the labour markets of peripheral industrial regions by focusing on women's needs and institutional barriers via a transnational overview, networking and knowledge exchange. The transnational overview aims to synthesise a cutting-edge theoretical understanding of the position of women in the labour markets of peripheral industrial regions and to conduct an empirical comparative study in 7 pilot areas of the Danube Region. The academic knowledge serves as a direct input for the creation of an applicative methodological toolkit for the development of social innovations to promote women's employment in peripheral industrial regions. The creation of theoretical and practical knowledge is highly supported by various forms of transnational networking and knowledge exchange (e.g. workshops, study visits, peer-review of policies, catalogue of good practises) within the WIN network and beyond.
WP2: Implementing social innovations for better labour markets for women in peripheral industrial regions
WP2 aims to implement 7 pilot actions in different peripheral industrial regions of the Danube Region by developing, testing and reflecting on the overarching concept of social innovation, while enabling regional diversification. Each pilot region will establish a WIN Innovation Group representing the project's target groups (women, employers, business support organisations, public authorities...). Each WIN Innovation Group will then focus on the respective pilot region and co-develop social innovations. To close the loop and get feedback from target groups and key stakeholders on the impact of the social innovations created, we will use human-centred evaluation tools and techniques. All findings and lessons learned from the piloting process, which includes the phases of development, testing and reflection, will be summarised in the WIN Social Innovation Booklet.
WP3: Capacity-building for women’s participation in the labour markets of peripheral industrial regions
WP3 aims to increase public and private institutional capacities for more effective and equal participation of women in the labour markets of peripheral industrial regions by focusing on innovative awareness-raising activities and effective policy-making. Awareness-raising activities aim to promote women's professional competences, skills and creative potential in order to raise their awareness of career opportunities. The core of the awareness-raising activities will be an innovative WIN awareness-raising campaign, complemented by the WIN pilot video and the transnational conference. A jointly developed campaign will have 7 national implementations allowing for modifications. The policy-making part aims to address cultural and institutional barriers that have led to gender inequality by developing 7 local/regional action plans and the policy recommendations to the EUSDR to improve the position of women in the labour markets.
