The NOW – New Opportunities for Women – Project aims to inspire female role models and leaders in our local communities. Through video profiles, case studies and inspirational stories, the NOW project has developed a range of educational materials and self-development tools to help women, especially women from migrant communities, to embrace leadership roles in all aspects of their lives. 

The project has created a transnational network from the UK, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, France, Spain, Iceland and Portugal – of valuable support through peer learning, sharing experiences and discussing emerging good practices. This has enabled us to create a unique online community, where women can access support and advice to address how they can overcome key challenges they face. The project will empower women with migrant backgrounds, to enhance their leadership aspirations and skills and will provide platforms for networking and integration.

This online space has been designed to enable women to access a range of educational materials, videos and support, all of which, will support women leaders and migrant women to recognise their strengths and qualities as leaders, and to develop their own leadership skills. The materials included on this platform will inspire and encourage migrant women to take the next steps into leadership roles in their own lives; to take ownership of their lives and their careers, and to gain the skills and supports they need to achieve their goals.
