MEET THE TEAM
Want to find out a little more about the INCLUDE HER Erasmus+ project, meet the partners who are making all of this possible then just keep reading…
The Include Her project aims to develop and mainstream an innovative approach to empower female migrants in higher education to attain higher levels of digital competence. Our resources will better equip HEIs in all participating countries to improve the digital skills of migrant women, helping redress the gender imbalance in the digital sphere.
The digital gender gap is most acute among migrant/refugees who, as both migrants & women face a double disadvantage that is consistently confirmed by research.” Barriers include the disruption that migration poses to their learning process, cultural gender stereotypes as to the role of women, and discrimination (conscious and unconscious) that limits access to education, thus our project aims to tackle these issues.
Our project has a strong and cross representational consortium involving 6 partners from 6 countries
Meet the Team:
University Mainz
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) considers continuing education as one of its core educational responsibilities. We offer knowledge, expertise, and contacts to enable interested parties to update and complement the knowledge they have acquired in their professional lives. In addition to individual seminars and continuing education programs, we increasingly meet this responsibility by establishing corresponding courses of study. Its Center for Continuing Education (ZWW) coordinates these programs.
Having provided education, training and support to learners and students from various ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds from over 130 different nations for over 40 years and with a network comprising around 4,400 academics, among them 570 professors who teach and conduct research in over 100 institutes and clinics, with 75 fields of study and more than 270 degree courses, JGU has both the experience and the relationships required to lead this project successfully.
