Booklet

The booklet contains training materials for the Erasmus+ “BREAKING THE CEILING” initiative. Soft talents to demolish the “glass ceiling” and workplace gender stereotypes. It is a European Union-funded initiative in which six European organisations are involved: Europass (Germany), VAEV (Austria), Skill Up Srl (Italy), Step by step (Iceland), E-school (Greece), and INDEPCIE (Spain). The developed material is a didactic resource that compiles the 12 essential soft skills that women must know and practise in order to advance their professions. On the basis of surveys conducted in national contexts, the project consortium identified and selected a set of emotional intelligence and related interpersonal competencies for women’s professional lives. This increased awareness was reinforced by questionnaires distributed to working women in each country, which identified the 12 interpersonal skills necessary to break the glass ceiling in their respective career pathways.
