The main objective of the project was twofold: to scientifically assess the socio-economic livelihood of the rural women in Pelagonija and to build their skills and competencies with tailored seminars on various topics. In addition, indirectly the project aimed at building the networks of cooperation and support, among women themselves, but also to initiate collaboration between academia, students and rural women, and to motivate rural students to research and improve their lives in villages through applicative knowledge obtained at the University. To achieve these goals, multiple activities were realized.

The project is funded by the Australian Embassy to Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro.
