🏢 About the local organisation

SEGE is an association with a Pan-Hellenic, non-profit nature and regards women engaged in business activities in Greece. SEGE provides to women entrepreneurs of Greece the environment to develop their businesses and themselves. Promotes youth entrepreneurship, improves recognition of their achievements and supports the growth of women-owned businesses through research and information. SEGE promotes ethics and morality in female entrepreneurship, while taking initiatives that demonstrate a sense of social responsibility. SEGE is active all over Europe and especially in the Mediterranean and Balkan area through it's participation in international and European projects. SEGE is active in improving and increasing the involvement of women in business activity by providing to them all the information and assistance that is needed to ease their career. SEGE has played a vital role in eliminating gender discriminations in the financial sector by promoting female entrepreneurial activity.Based on the latest report from UN ,achieving full gender equality, one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), could take close to 300 years if the current rate of progress continues, according to a report published on Wednesday by UN Women and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), that is if we do not actively invest time, and resources to change it. SEGE decided to apply for the quality label to be able to engage volunteers with the topics of gender equality.

💼 What the programme involves

SEGE will host a volunteering team of 6 participants who will contribute to actions promoting entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment. During the activity, volunteers will come into contact with SEGE members and entrepreneurs, gaining insight into their experiences, challenges, achievements, and impact within the business community. The volunteers will support the creation of creative awareness-raising campaigns highlighting SEGE’s work and its positive impact on its members. They will also contribute to the development of podcasts, short videos, interviews, and digital content featuring women entrepreneurs and their stories. Through these activities, the team will actively support SEGE’s mission, strengthen the visibility of its initiatives, and promote entrepreneurship as a tool for empowerment, inclusion, and social development.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
