PROJECT SUMMARY

The PowHer training programme is designed to strengthen the digital competencies, entrepreneurial skills, and leadership potential of Ukrainian women and IDPs, with a particular focus on those affected by conflict and displacement. In line with Ukraine’s EU integration goals and the broader agenda for inclusive economic development, PowHer aims to build pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and active participation in the digital economy.

The programme offers a comprehensive, structured learning journey that combines both onsite and online activities, including webinars, peer collaborative activities, mentoring, study visits, project based assignments, and peer-to-peer learning. The training programme is developed and executed as a joint collaborative effort of Swedish and Ukrainian education experts and developers. The training programme will be credentialed under both Swedish and Ukrainian universities (Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Dnipro University of Technology), and worth 6 ECTS credit points to ensure high-quality engagement and effective skills' development.

Upon completion of the training, the participants will lead in training and empowering women's entrepreneurial capacities, and drive an alumni network that fosters mentorship and collaboration, contributing to Ukraine’s sustainable recovery and EU integration.
