Let’s Digital is a project which aims to improve the delivery of training activities to migrant women through digital tools.

Let’s Digital focuses on entrepreneurship as a ‘transversal skillset, which applies to all spheres of life: from nurturing personal development, to actively participating in society, to (re)entering the job market as an employee or as a self-employed person, and also to starting up ventures (cultural, social or commercial)’ (EntreComp Framework).

Let’s Digital supports VET trainers with relevant digital tools and distance training methodology adapted to the learning needs of migrant women.

Let’s Digital reinforces the capacity of trainers to provide high-quality training for female migrants affected by the negative outcomes of the pandemic restrictions.

Let’s Digital replies to the needs of the VET sector educators to be equipped with distance learning methodology and of the migrant and women association in need of training adapted to real challenges caused by the pandemic.
