The Palestinian Businesswomen's Association – Asala, the Palestinian partner in the project "Social Innovation in the Agri-Food Sector to Empower Women in the Mediterranean Basin", funded by the European Union and implemented through the ENI CBC Med Programme, finished training camp for the beneficiaries of the project in the Dead Sea area in Jordan with the participation of approximately 50 women from the four partner countries of the project, which are Palestine, Tunisia, Italy and Spain.
The participants in the camp, which lasted for five days this month, received training in various fields such as communication skills and various life skills related to self-confidence, and they also had the opportunity to exchange experiences and business ideas, and enhance understanding and exchange of cultures and their vision about their upcoming projects or jobs that they will get in the agri-food sector.
In addition, the camp included field visits to the Jordan Valley with the aim of introducing the participants to the reality of the agri-food sector in Jordan.
The Executive Director of Asala, Raja Rantisi, said that this camp aimed to enable the beneficiaries to communicate together and exchange ideas, experiences and challenges that they faced, whether socially, economically or within the framework of the agri-food sector. She added that, in addition to that, it is an opportunity to refine the personalities of the beneficiaries and enable them to learn new information, especially since the participants are from different cultural backgrounds, and on the other hand, it helped them to represent their country, its conditions and challenges in front of women of new nationalities.
It is noteworthy that this activity came as a continuation of theoretical and practical training in the fields of food processing, digitization, financial education andbased on social innovation in the agri-food sector carried out by thefour partners during the last period.
Each of the four partners trained between 32-35 women, who would then be able to find jobs in the agri-food sector or create their own entrepreneurial projects, as part of the implementation of the project's objective of empowering women in the agri-food sector in the Mediterranean region. .
