The REMCREAD project is dedicated to fostering the empowerment of refugee and migrant women by providing them with training, mentoring, and networking opportunities. This initiative is designed to support their journey towards sustainability and self-fulfillment. Through the innovative workshop phase of the project, participants will have the chance to conceive and develop projects across diverse sectors including food, fashion, and technology. Utilizing creative methodologies, these workshops will serve as a platform for these women to articulate their unique voices and display their abilities and talents, contributing to the rich tapestry of the European Union.
Together we will be working on the following results in the next 2 years:
1. Innovative and Creative Workshops - A series of creative workshops for migrant and refugee women that will take place in each of the partner country and that will, on one hand, inspire women to create their own products or art and on another hand, provide a safe space, where women would come together, share and connect, enhancing the feeling of belonging in the new country. At the end of the local workshops, an final publication will be available for consultation and inspiration for other adult educators and social workers working with migrant and refugee women in their countries.
2. Digital Literacy In-Training Service - A 5 modules training on various digital and creative skills meant to close the gap of knowledge of adult educators working with the target group, as well as giving them the opportunity to take the knowledge further to the women they are working with and teach them about Safety and Privacy online, Social Media platforms, as well as about photography/video with the smartphone and how to use editing programs for editing the photos/videos and creating new content for social media platforms.
3. Digital Exposition for Refugee and Migrant Women's Creative Work Output - As the name says, a final digital exhibition that would gather and showcase all the creative work created by the women during the local creative workshops in each partner country and personal stories from the participants.

Creative Circles for Migrant Women in Graz
Über einen Zeitraum von sechs Monaten haben wir sieben kreative Workshops umgesetzt, die sich an Frauen mit Flucht- oder Migrationserfahrung richten und in Graz leben. Ziel war es, Frauen aus der ganzen Welt für einen gemeinsamen Moment der Kreativität, des Austauschs und des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls in einem neuen Land und einer neuen Stadt zusammenzubringen.
Frauen aus der Community engagierten sich zudem ehrenamtlich als Workshop-Leiterinnen, wodurch besondere Formate entstehen konnten. So wurden unter anderem Workshops zu Papiermarmorierung und botanischer Malerei von einer Teilnehmerin aus Pakistan durchgeführt. Außerdem bot eine Teilnehmerin aus Indien an, einen Workshop zu Achtsamkeit und kreativem Zeichnen zu leiten.

Creative empowerment of migrant women • a practical toolkit for educators and organizations
The publication is a practical guide for institutions and individuals working in the field of adult education who are interested in implementing similar activities. It contains an analysis of the needs of women with migrant experience, based on focus studies carried out in five partner countries, as well as descriptions of local development programmes implemented within the REMCREAD project. In addition, the publication includes a set of recommendations for the design of inclusive educational activities and examples of good practice, adaptable to other institutional and cultural contexts
The project developed six educational programmes aimed at women with migrant experience. During the pilot, more than forty workshops were implemented covering a variety of thematic areas, such as handicrafts, sewing, make-up, photography, social media management, online self-presentation, storytelling, cooking, jewellery making. Among other things, work with the Women's Circles method and based on the Study Circles methodology was used. All activities were characterised by combining creative and digital components, strengthening the social competences of the participants and building their sense of empowerment.
