Equality of education is essential to redress the digital gender gap - which is sadly growing - but it's not the only method. Rather than making assumptions about what women want and need from technology, we must work with them to create solutions for the issues that affect them by enabling them to learn digital skills. The Error 404 project is a project run by 5 organizations from Spain, Slovenia, Montenegro, Poland and Austria. The aim of the project is to bring women closer to the ICT sector by creating a Bootcamp where we will work with different tools and knowledge. Technology can be a powerful tool for women`s voices to become even louder and reach even further. 💪👩🏽💻

We are so excited to host all partners for the Transnational Partner Meeting in Vienna. Next to a diverse cultural and culinary program, we will work together on the final adjustments to the MOOC, the methodological guide for educators and the dissemination and evaluation strategy. So nice having the partners working together in the Popedu offices and in the beautiful city of Vienna.

Our project “Error404 - Women not found” within the Erasmus+ framework of the EU kicked off in Madrid. We met our project partners from Spain, Slovenia, Poland and Montenegro in person for the first time. Three exciting days visiting a museum, seeing our partner school and having incredible food. Here is to the next years of great collaboration with our partners.
These projects were made possible by funding of Erasmus+, the European Union programme for education, youth, training and sport. A special thanks to the team of our National Agency and the Executive Agency.
