Replicability

It's a brand new full projects. Previously, our event included a minor sessions on similar topics but never a full dedicated project. Without budget we will not be able to execute it. Therefore, until now it's been a short sessions only and not a full yearly program but after Covid-19 Women Labor impact there is not a question we have to implement it as soon as the funding will be found. Will be grateful if you will support us on this issue.


WSIS values promotion

The project contributes to trade development using the ICTs. Europe & Israel considered as biggest tech hubs and naturally it will be a good start to launch a program within the combination between the West, east Europe & Israel to create a full collaboration and dialogue.
