STORYLIGHT

The STORYLIGHT project sheds a light on the journeys of migrant women who have fled their home countries and are building a new live in their host country. Through this project, we aim to enhance their digital competencies while promoting equal access to opportunities and combating discrimination against marginalized groups. STORYLIGHT offers flexible online and in-person learning expereinces to empower women with the essential digital skills for a more inclusive future.

1. Empowering educators: Enhancing the skills and competences of educators, adult learning professionals and guidance staff to better support migrant women.
2. Learning spaces: Promoting local learning centers and fostering innovative educational environments that encourage digital upskilling.
3. Inclusion and diversity: Providing inclusive and divers learning opportunities in all fields of education, training, youth and sport.

1. Migrant women
2. Adult educators/migrant support workers
3. Adults

STORYLIGHT primarily focuses on migrant women, a group that represents a significant portion of the world’s illiterate adults and often faces barriers to employment, education, and social inclusion. These women struggle with limited access to learning opportunities, making it crucial to provide them with digital skills and storytelling tools to amplify their voices and enhance their participation in society.

The project also targets adult educators and migrant support workers, particularly those working closely with migrant women. Educators require continuous professional development to effectively support marginalized groups, especially women living in remote areas with restricted access to education and training.

Additionally, adults in general are considered key beneficiaries, as they will engage with the project through public events, social media campaigns, and digital learning materials, benefiting from awareness-raising efforts and accessible training resources.

Beyond its core audience, STORYLIGHT secondary target group consists on:

• Stakeholders and policymakers such as regional authorities, migrant associations, employers, and educational institutions involved in adult learning. The project fosters collaboration among these groups, particularly in rural areas, to create inclusive and forward-thinking communities.
• Migrant women in rural areas who may have fewer opportunities for employment, education, and training.
• The general public, with the aim of raising awareness about migration and integration through socio-emotional intelligence and empathy-building initiatives.
