As a core activity of the FLOWER project, national workshops were held in all four partner countries to test and implement the newly developed financial literacy tools and empower women in rural areas.
Each country organized a 1-day local workshop, gathering rural women and relevant stakeholders to explore practical financial knowledge using the FLOWER handbook. These sessions not only piloted the materials but also created space for open dialogue, local adaptation, and empowerment.
Workshop Dates & Participation:
- 1. Türkiye – 27 May 2025, 22 participants
- 2. Spain – 8 June 2025, 26 participants
- 3. Slovenia – 16 June 2025, 36 participants
- 4. France – 25 June 2025, 26 participants
Who participated?
The target group were women from rural areas at risk of exclusion, but the workshops also welcomed:
- – Local government representatives
- – Female entrepreneurs
- – Trainers and adult educators
- – NGOs working with vulnerable groups
In total, 110 participants engaged across all four workshops – significantly surpassing the planned number of 80. These workshops proved the handbook’s practicality and sparked discussions on how to continue supporting women through financial education even after the project ends.
