VEDA aims to provide alternative ways of learning to a broad range of women and help them develop their knowledge, skills and capabilities in order to be benefited from opportunities for employability and entrepreneurship. The successful implementation of the project will form the basis for women’s integration in the European labour market and society at large and set a good example for other organizations and stakeholders across Europe to follow.

VEDA is based on new and innovative educational tools that will allow participants to develop their digital skills, which they will be able to utilise in the contemporary labour market. The project will address digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity. Especially after COVID-19 and the transition of a broad range of entrepreneurial activities into the digital world, it is expected that the participants will benefit from the project by improving their digital literacy and creating eco-friendly, green and sustainable businesses.
