Project title *
Millennia2025 Mad-Skills: Share and value your Skills for innovation and women's empowerment
Title acronym
Millennia2025
Description *
The Millennia2025 Intelligence Platform is an inclusive tool based on innovation built for empowerment and equality, valorizing and sharing skills at international level, addressed to young generations and benefiting from skills' transmission provided by older ones. The concept, conceived at the beginning of the Millennia2015 foresight research process "An action plan for women's empowerment and gender equality" in 2007 has gained approval from many representative intellectual partners around the world and is meant to develop until 2025 in the United Nations context. The added value of Millennia2025 is its foresight method, used to study the best ways of building innovation for women, girls and young people. The resulting Millennia2025 concrete actions deal with "Women and eHealth" by the Millennia2025 WeObservatory including "Zero Mothers Die", empowerment by "Millennia2025 Solidarity-Women" and economic leadership by "Millennia2025 She4Innovation". Created by the international Millennia2025 Women and Innovation Foundation in coordination with the concrete action MAD-Skills, "Master, Apply and Dynamise your skills", the Millennia2025 Intelligence Platform will benefit to the international Millennia2025 Communities: many members already have a website, but many do not have personal access online to present their skills. The MAD-Skills.eu interface is built for this purpose, providing them with the required secured public tools. These services will be free for people in developing countries, rural areas and fragile regions. Specific assistance will be offered to women and girls whose learning has been hampered by life circumstances and who are nonetheless architects of their future, with strong skills in their own domains.
