On 21–22 October 2026, the partners of the e-CRAFTS project gathered in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, for the 2nd Transnational Project Meeting, marking another important milestone in the project’s implementation and the achievement of its objectives.
During the two-day meeting, representatives of the partner organisations reviewed the progress achieved so far, coordinated upcoming activities, and focused on the ongoing development of the e-CRAFTS digital platform. The platform represents a key component of the project, aiming to support women in developing creative, digital, and entrepreneurial skills while facilitating access to innovative educational resources and learning opportunities.
Particular attention was given to strengthening the connection between traditional craftsmanship, modern digital technologies, and entrepreneurship. Through collaborative discussions, the partnership explored how educational tools and digital learning approaches can help women transform their creativity, knowledge, and practical skills into sustainable entrepreneurial opportunities.
The meeting also provided an important opportunity for partners to exchange experiences, share perspectives, identify emerging priorities, and coordinate the next stages of project implementation. Through constructive dialogue and joint planning, the consortium reinforced its commitment to developing meaningful educational resources that respond to the needs of women interested in creative entrepreneurship.
For Action for the Civil Society, participation in the e-CRAFTS project reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting equal opportunities, supporting women’s economic empowerment, and encouraging sustainable entrepreneurship through education and innovation.
By combining creative skills with digital competencies and entrepreneurial knowledge, the project seeks to contribute to more inclusive learning environments and support women in exploring new pathways towards professional development, self-employment, and economic independence.
The meeting in Leeuwarden represented another valuable step in strengthening cooperation among the project partners and ensuring a coordinated approach towards the development, implementation, and dissemination of the project’s results.
Through creativity, digital innovation, and European cooperation, the e-CRAFTS project continues to transform skills into opportunities, empowering women to actively shape their professional futures and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable society.
