The development partnership learn forever performs activities within Austria to facilitate the accession process to the information and scientific society for women who are not familiar with learning. The ambition of this project is to motivate women to participate in further education trainings, to establish basic conditions for life accompanying learning and to support the handling of information and communication technologies. New solution oriented initiatives will be developed in the provinces Styria, Vienna, Salzburg and Upper Austria.

The project learn forever is enabled by the community initiative EQUAL, which is supported by the European Social Fund and the Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture.
