Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Equality between women and men is one of the European Union's founding values. It goes back to 1957 when the principle of equal pay for equal work became part of the Treaty of Rome. The European Union's achievements in fostering equality between women and men have helped to change the lives of many European citizens for the better. However, looking closely to the EU statistics, we still see significant differences between male and female unemployment. In addition to gender differences unemployment, a new term has been introduced: that of people being "inactive", i.e. neither employed nor unemployed and sitting at home. Moreover; employment has always been a problem for disabled people. Disabled people face a lot of unusual obstacles and barriers in getting a job or building their own business. Under these conditions it is important that to provide physically disabled people with the same level individual choices opportunities and control in their daily lives as non-disabled people for contemporary societies. Based on this phenomena, the concrete aim of this project is “to train inactive women as e-mentors and consequently support micro-entrepreneurship of women with physical disabilities by means of e-mentoring, so that they can work from their home”. These inactive women have probably worked before and know working life, most of them were successful entrepreneurs and would like to offer their knowledge but on home based basis since they cannot leave home due to several reasons. Knowing the fact that the "home based working" is one of the best working models for people with physical disabilities in general, it was also mentioned that almost half of non working persons with physical disabilities need some form of assistance to work throughout the EU. For this purpose and realising the philosophy, ID-Women idea brings together many different professionalism together for reaching to project aim. Wold of work, company, AVT, University, NGOs and Research&Development organisations came together for the implementation of this project. Some partners have been invited from mentioned former projects and some of them have not been participated above ones but similar other projects: POINT [TR], coordinator who is professional in ICT and project development field, also promoted above subject projects will bear all management and technical infrastructure development; apart from being the previous VOCA and IT&E projects' coordinator, H-FOUNDATION [RO], experienced disabled organisation concentrating in AVT of physically disabled people; will support project as a technical bridge between the project and physically disabled women who will be future mentees, also giving input for pedagogical dimension based on this aspect; PENTHESILEIA [EL], is a Women NGO and growing steadily in Greek social environment and was created in order to offer services in women and other vulnerable groups that experience social racism of any type. GAZI [TR], one of the biggest universities in Turkey who will support from learning material development point of view as well as reaching their network members.

As they are extremely experienced in EU project development and execution, project will aim to utilize their non-stereotype approaches in developing its own tools to reach to project aims. This partnership is for developing e-learning platform with enhanced e-learning material inserted. To develop the model to improve the employability of inactive women and women with physical disabilities which will also be a model for other similar activity fields than e-mentoring. It will also improve the output quality in the sector by means of increasing the meeting opportunities of supply and demand and resulting increase in competition. Aim is to end up with virtual working and employment will be encouraged which will also encourage e-learning methods, especially useful for inactive women and women with physical disabilities.
