Within the framework of the “WE-EMPOWER” project, the third transnational training (29 February 1 March 2024) was organised by Red Latinas (Red de Mujeres Latinoamericanas y del Caribe) in Madrid, Spain. The meeting, titled, “We Empower: Migrant Women Breaking Down Barriers in Politics,” aimed to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide a space for reflection and exchange of experiences among European members of WIDE+ and the WE-EMPOWER project;
- Share work methodologies, such as the Red Latinas’ Political School, and facilitate training in digital tools such as Moodle, enabling participatory educational course design;
- Present the main results of the WE-EMPOWER project to organisations within the Red Latinas’ network in Spain, as well as to media and political agents;
- Utilize the participation of all members of the Red Latinas to organise a general assembly, evaluate the network’s political actions in 2023, and plan future actions for 2024.
In total 65 people participated in person in the training and related events, mostly migrant women that are members of Red Latinas. More participated in the online parts. There were close to 20 international representatives from project partners. This report summarizes the transnational training, in particular the workshop on digital participation tools, the public event to present the project outcomes, and a visit to the Empowerment Center for Domestic Workers, managed by SEDOAC, a member association of Red Latinas.
