METHODOLOGY

Our aim is to accompany women victims of domestic violence to develop their personal autonomy that is closely linked to their inclusion in the labour market.
We propose a path that aim at recognizing supporting methodologies and exchange good practices among operators in order to improve effectiveness of their actions.
In fact often operators improve their skills by experiences: they need time and space to assess their skills and to become more and more aware of them.
Further more sometimes operators don't play managerial role and sometimes is very difficult to share know how from a person to another, because someone is not aware of his/ her knowledge learned by experiences. Moreover in small organisations there is little time to carry out team building activities because often people play different roles in the same time. Nevertheless awareness is the key word for managing this kind of matter and improving effectiveness of actions performed by operators.
L.I.P.A.W. will provide time and space for a peer to peer exchange about tool for identifying operators needs by self-assessment, for deep analysis of the situation.
This project arises with a co-operative approach in the management and development of activities, it comes from the constructivist point of view where knowledge is a social activity built from a community in its interaction. This is why both organizations operators and users will be involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of project activities.
The project comes from staffs needs and wishes. Our staff (i.e. us, because we are small organisations where the staff is the organisation), is interested in improving the effectiveness of its intervention in its context and its competences and skills, this is why we decided to achieve this project. In fact the staff involved in the project will attend the project meetings and the project workshops.
The 4 training paths implemented by the project will work as testing stage in order to assess if the recognized approaches, methodologies and practices work well or not and to adjust them with the support and the advices of learners, following the constructivist approach of the project. The paths will be the core of the project, in fact they will work as testing stage in order to assess if the recognized approaches, methodologies and practices work well or not and to adjust them with the support and the advice of learners.
The project will be integrated into ongoing activities of the partnership because we'll use the result of the first part of the project for achieving 4 paths addressed to improve employability and self-confidence of women victims of violence.
For their planning and implementation we'll use: tools for operators' needs analysis, methodologies, approaches and techniques for improving the inclusion in the labour market of women victims of domestic violence methodologies, approaches and techniques for improving self-confidence and self-esteem of women victims of domestic violence.
