WES is a project that recognises the vital role women play in society. Unfortunately, their exclusion harms both individuals and society as a whole, mainly due to external discrimination. However, we believe that sport can be a powerful tool to improve the lives of vulnerable women by promoting empowerment, enhancing skills and strengthening social networks. WES combines sports techniques with psychosocial work, providing group activities and individual tools to support women’s independent growth. With the aim of social inclusion and empowerment, the project targets both the women themselves and the professionals who work with them.
The WES project is led by a diverse group of partners from 4 different countries: Guarani (Spain), IASIS NGO (Greece), DAF (Bulgaria), Amigos de Europa (Spain) and Per Esempio (Italy).
The consortium held its first meeting in Madrid in March and its second coordination meeting in Plovdiv in October to plan and discuss the next steps to take the project forward!
