VHS Neuwied & 'Starke Nachbarinnen' Empower Migrant Women with Computer Skills
VHS Neuwied and 'Starke Nachbarinnen', an initiative of EIRENE, collaborated to offer a five-part Coursera-like course tailored for women with migrant backgrounds. The course, led by Hagen Peters and another VHS instructor, focused on essential computer skills and filled up swiftly due to high demand. The course covered fundamental topics such as computer basics, internet browsers, search engines, email services, IT security, and text and spreadsheet processing. Participants demonstrated enthusiasm for learning and supported each other throughout the sessions, eager to apply the acquired knowledge in their daily lives. Unfortunately, no specific organization was found to have collaborated with the 'Starke Nachbarinnen' initiative for this particular Coursera-like course. However, the course aimed to empower attendees by providing practical skills for daily life, fostering independence, and promoting social participation. The Coursera-like computer course, conducted by VHS Neuwied and 'Starke Nachbarinnen', equipped women with migrant backgrounds with essential computer skills, highlighting its success in empowering attendees.
