Why WAY Matters
Facing a triple disadvantage
Young immigrant women experience overlapping barriers that few other groups face at once. WAY was designed to address all three together.
Jugend
Den Übergang ins Erwachsenenalter und den ersten Job meistern – oft ohne etablierte Netzwerke oder lokale Unterstützung, auf die man sich stützen könnte.
Geschlecht
Die Auseinandersetzung mit geschlechtsspezifischen Ungleichheiten bei Beschäftigung und Bezahlung sowie mit Erwartungen, die den Zugang zu Chancen einschränken können.
Migrationshintergrund
Sich an eine neue Sprache, Kultur und einen neuen Arbeitsmarkt anzupassen und gleichzeitig Anerkennung für Fähigkeiten und Erfahrungen zu erlangen.
Who WAY Is For
Built around the people who benefit
Every resource is designed with three audiences in mind — and the connections between them.
Young immigrant women
Build confidence, soft skills and employability to thrive in a new country and its labour market.
Youth workers & trainers
Gain a ready-to-use toolkit and training to deliver impactful soft skills and employability sessions.
Communities & partners
Strengthen social cohesion and inclusion across Germany, Spain and France — and the wider EU.
