Coop4Equality strengthens the role of women and gender minorities in the European social economy. The consortium from FR, BE, DE, GR, PT and RO is developing mindset impulses, methods and training courses to enable investors, hubs, coaches, universities and social entrepreneurs to work with a gender lens on a permanent basis – for a fairer, more inclusive economy.*
The baseline study (92 organisations, Dec. 2024) shows that bias and structural barriers exist even in areas dominated by women. Coop4Equality responds to this with practical manuals and training-of-trainers programmes that are used throughout Europe, including public workshops (e.g. Brussels, Mannheim). In the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, we cooperate with the Mannheim Social Economy Cluster for this purpose.
