Initial situation

Women's networks serve to share experiences and provide mutual support. However, for targeted knowledge transfer and collegial competence building, it requires pedagogical skills as well as enhanced counselling and discussion skills. In addition, organisational framework conditions are needed that facilitate a collegial learning culture.

Target groups and their benefits

The project XTEAM-FEM aims to support innovative women from the Portuguese women's network "Mulheres a Obra" in the training of their counseling skills in order to strengthen the resources for social support and collegial knowledge transfer within the network.

Project goal

The XTeam-FEM project aims to develop framework conditions so that the online community of women entrepreneurs in the Portuguese Women's Network "Mulheres a Obra", provide professional advice, collegial support and training to the other women entrepreneurs in the network. The community uses collective organisation for common purposes and promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and expertise in the following areas: Business management, digital marketing and sales, social and environmental responsibility, and collaborative work among peers.

Role of ISOB
