At EU level, the number of women with digital skills and those in ICT sector is much lower than the number of men. This causes social disparities and discrimination. Moreover, there is a lack of an open source online learning hub directed specifically at women and girls.In the EU more than 90% of girls and boys (16-24) are skilled enough to use digital technologies in their daily lives. However, boys feel more confident about their digital skills than girls. In countries where young people have a lower level of confidence in their digital skills (e.g. Latvia & Finland), the confidence gap between women and men is notably wider (EIGE, 2018, bit.ly/2VThkcU). Low self-confidence among girls goes hand in hand with lower aspirations of engaging in digital jobs. Later down the line, this leads to certain study and work fields being persistently dominated either by women or men. Women working in ICT earn almost 20% less than men and only 19% of European ICT entrepreneurs are women (EC, 2016, bit.ly/2VsSO3f). The objectives of the project coincide with good practice guidelines as recommended by the EU:•Increase social inclusion of women in modern society by giving them the required digital skills to both operate in and out of work-related contexts.•Increasing the learning demand and take-up through effective outreach as a service to ensure that women have access to relevant learning throughout life. •The taking up of digital technologies and of innovative and open pedagogies in education and training with specific regards to promoting gender equality.•Support the use of the European Frameworks on digital competencies of citizens using open educational resources.•Development of innovative methods and tools of teaching through the online platform that will be developed.The project targets primary women and girls, to enable them to easily find support when they would like to work on the development of their digital skills and to be supported when they are interested in making a move to the IT-world. Furthermore, stakeholders of this issue are targeted, such as IT companies, teachers in IT, employers in general, foundations promoting digital literacy etc. We believe in a cooperative approach, where we include as many as possible likeminded organisations to work towards the same goal: more gender equality in IT and more women mastering higher levels of digital skills. We will work together in the project with 7 partners from the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Ireland and Sweden. The main legacy of the project will be a close collaboration between stakeholders and a platform where specifically girls and women can find useful tools, workshops, webinars, courses, events and many more, facilitating the development of their digital literacy skills. This will be supported by the results from the activities in this project. The key results include: 1.DLL Recommendations - Mapping Ladies in IT. Report on existing research on the gender gap in IT and how to decrease this gap, female role models in IT, good practices etc. as background for recommendations on how to promote IT amongst women2.DLL Programme – Ladies & IT-skills. Programme to reach more women and how to inspire and motivate women to work on their digital skills move towards the IT world. This will also include the development of the online platform where all initiatives are gathered. 3.DLL Partnership Guide – How to set up a regional partnership to promote IT amongst women?By developing these outputs, we want to increase awareness of the gender inequality in IT and more in general the importance of digital skills for women. We want to do this by:-Create close, cross-sectoral collaboration by relevant stakeholders to enable them to provide better support for women on their development of digital skills and/or move to the IT-world-Offer very easy access to support for women who are interested in developing their digital skills/making a move to the IT-world by gathering all existing initiatives on this issue in one platform. In the long run, it has been proven that more gender diversity in IT boosts performance. When more women are involving in IT education etc., this will contribute to closing the gap in demand and availability of IT professionals. In the end it will result in better employment and education opportunities for women and contribute to more prosperous, cohesive and inclusive European society.
