For Panevėžys, this project represents a unique opportunity to bring global insights back to the local community. The discussions in Krakow highlighted the critical role of education and active measures in promoting gender equality in traditionally male-dominated fields like energy. With a focus on best practices from European partners, Panevėžys is poised to implement new strategies that will foster a more inclusive environment, both in the workplace and in educational settings.

As the city moves forward with these learnings, Panevėžys is determined to utilize the knowledge gained through the project to create lasting change. Local educational institutions and youth organizations should play a pivotal role in this process, empowering the next generation of leaders. The goal is not just to close existing gaps but to build a community where women and men alike can thrive in the energy sector, contributing to a sustainable and balanced future for the city. Through this project, Panevėžys is taking a bold step towards greater equality, proving that change starts with collaborative efforts and a shared vision for a better tomorrow.

The Project „The Power of W“ is being implemented from January 2024 to December 2025 and is fully funded through the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme, with a total budget of €174,290.00.
