MOMentum is an Erasmus-funded collaborative endeavour for advancing the participation of mothers in entrepreneurial activities. The main objectives of MOMentum are to promote entrepreneurship education and social entrepreneurship for mothers, especially the disadvantaged ones; inspire mothers through role-model education to take the risk of founding their own enterprise; fight stereotypes against women who want to work again after their childbirth, who are migrant, who are single or with social needs; bring out the importance of working and innovating for the mother’s psychological, emotional, cultural, and social balance; motivate and helping the mothers, especially the disadvantaged ones, creating their own work in the new economy; enhance acquisition of key skills and competences to mothers; strengthen the skills and competences of trainers/educators/relevant professionals regarding mumpreneurship; promote economic, social, and gender equality.
The project is focused on vocational education and training VET in the niche of entrepreneurship. Hereby MOMentum seeks to assist mothers in acknowledging and fulfilling their economic potential firstly identifying mothers’ learning needs concerning VET on entrepreneurship; by devising educational methodologies pursuant to the prior identified learning needs; and finally, by creating learning tools which are relevant, outcome-oriented, replicable, and scalable.
