Methods - The fourth step - Phase of change

The phase of change is based upon each participants plan of action. From this point of view they choose activities in order to achieve there goals. The project is based upon the "bottom up"-principal, meaning that we in the E-groups will encourage seeking of new knowledge, broadening their minds, clarifying their situation and increase their capability in finding new solutions and opportunities.

The pedagogic is based on problem oriented learning. We create an environment adapted to the way grown-ups assimilate knowledge, where the participants themselves are responsible for learning. We strengthen their self-confidence, increase their social competence and ability to solve problems. We also increase awareness of women’s vital conditions and its affect on health.

Learning is founded on each participants experiences/knowledge and follows the individual carrerplan of action and education produced during the first month and later considered.

By using the large networks of the board we have found sites, where the participants have been able to make educational visits and try out a new profession during a couple of months.

With support from the mentors and the method-seeking board the participants are encouraged to approach male dominated sites.

During this phase we have visited Chemnitz, where the participants met there individual associates, practiced a foreign language, got to know a new culture and women’s situation in the other countries.
