About WIRES

The WIRES project aims to empower women in rural areas of Germany, France, and Spain by providing entrepreneurial training, focusing on those with fewer opportunities due to geographical and socio-economic challenges.

Aligned with the priorities of Inclusion and Diversity, upskilling, reskilling, and promoting lifelong learning, WIRES seeks to enhance entrepreneurial and digital skills while addressing mental well-being and work-life balance for rural women.
