    The project will address common Latvia’s and Estonia’s cross-border challenges related to social exclusion of women who stay at home with their pre-school-age children, do not participate in labour market and belong to largest ethnic minorities, such as the Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Poles. These women often suffer from a variety of factors, including post-natal depression, limited social circle, the need to perform routine unsatisfying tasks every day, low self-esteem and self-confidence, inability to realize their potential through work or other activities, no income. The project will create a holistic model for social inclusion of target group representatives (TGRs) through employability, entrepreneurship, volunteering and networking, as well as develop an interactive ICT platform offering mentoring, networking, matchmaking and self-learning possibilities. A total of 14 events will be alternately carried out during the project life-time: Round-table discussions on employment, Entrepreneurship Days “Running own business is an option!” and Networking people-to-people events. Volunteering options will also be provided. Innovative approach will be applied to networking events (“Turn a simple activity into a business”), Volunteering (“Tell an employer what to do”) and mentoring, which will be organized like a marathon and contain elements of employment and entrepreneurship simulation. As a result of project activities, social inclusion of TGRs along with their satisfaction level will significantly improve. Having happier self-fulfilled mothers would mean having healthier, stronger and more stable families and, therefore, communities in general. It is expected that 460 TGRs will be influenced by the project and 100-120 stakeholders will be involved in the activities. Thus, better visibility and increased awareness of problems and needs faced by TGRs will also be achieved. (English)
