The Tailoring & Empowerment Course is an 8-month program designed to strengthen women’s technical abilities, confidence, and capacity to create and lead their own professional projects.

It integrates tailoring with empowerment, literacy, accountancy, creativity, digital tools, and project management.

The facilitator must go beyond technical teaching, working simultaneously across experiential, reflective, and practical dimensions.

• Supervise the creation of bios, motivation texts, group videos and photo documentation.
• “Project presentation” with the women.

5. Experiential & Exposure Learning
