Hidden Diamonds

In Norway, Croatia and Germany, populations with migration background are not socially visible in the same proportion as people without a migration background. With regard to women, the result is even worse, even though they represent a great potential for societies, because with their special know-how as well as language and cultural skills, they have special qualifications from which politics, business and science can benefit. Women with a migration background are hardly represented in politics, public service, the media and in leadership positions in working life and thus do not serve as role models for young women with culturally diverse backgrounds. On the other hand, there are women with a migration background in all three countries who are successful professionally and/or socio-politically and can serve as inspiration and role models for other women, thus contributing to an improvement of women's rights.

The "Hidden Diamonds" project combines the efforts of 3 partners and provides various interventions to address the current challenges in the field of adult education, gender equality and engagement of young women with migrant and minority backgrounds from different regions of Europe - Southeast (Croatia), Central (Germany) and northern (Norway).
