The project aims to raise awareness about the phenomenon of “brain waste” with a particular focus on the situation of women. It also aims to create a space for sharing experiences, identifying critical issues, and developing concrete strategies to reduce this phenomenon.
Specific objectives are:
- Raise public awareness by promoting better understanding of the phenomenon of skills waste among migrants, with a focus on women;
- Investigate obstacles to qualified integration into the labour market, such as non-recognition of qualifications, discrimination and language barriers;
- Valorise women's skills by highlighting the potential of female migrants as a resource for the labour market and society as a whole;
- Exchange best practices at European level by presenting successful projects, strategies and measures;
- Promote dialogue between key actors, involving trade unions and other workers’ organisations, institutions, educational establishments, third sector organisations and migrant communities;
- Identify strategies to improve professional integration;
- Promote the empowerment of women.
