VdA Academia, in partnership with CEWE - Commission for the Equality of Work and Employment, held on June 24th and 25th the Executive Training Program W2L - Women to Lead, focused on senior women from IGen member organizations - Organizations for Equality Forum  (which VdA recently joined), who want to develop their management, legal and behavioral skills.

 Margarida Couto, Sofia Ribeiro Branco, Benedita Aires, Francisco Cabral Matos and Sandra Pedro Serrano were the trainers who presented the different modules of this program.

The W2L had Alexandra Machado (Girl Move) and Sara Falcão Casaca (ISEG) as Keynote Speakers.

A particularity of this project was the fact that the registration fee reverted entirely to support the Girl Move Academy Social Responsibility project - www.girlmove.org, through VdA Academia.
