girls_space

2030. The trend of urban flight is clearly visible. More and more people are moving back to the countryside. But there is still a surplus of men there. Many women are put off by old role models and the lack of attractive professions. Yet places with a higher quota of women are demonstrably more thriving places with more active communities and more diverse cultural activities.
Through the networking of the girls_spaces, a gradual move to the countryside by more and more women is becoming apparent. The girls_space gives great importance to the interests and wishes of girls and women in rural areas. With the help of a method suitcase, they are given the opportunity to think up and plan a girls_space on site, on which they can work and empower each other. Focal points such as coworking, idea workshops, makerspaces, events, networks and sharing can be planned and realised in this way. This year, girls_spaces have already been implemented in some communities and many women in rural areas are benefiting from this movement.
