🇪🇸 Erasmus+ Training Course in Spain 🌸 Women's Empowerment, Self-Awareness & Sisterhood at She Who Knows 💫

What happens when women come together in trust, honesty, and support? This training is the answer. A safe, transformative space created by women, for women — on the island of Menorca, surrounded by nature, with 21 participants from 9 countries coming together for six days of connection, self-discovery, and mutual learning.

Origens Menorca is organising She Who Knows — an Erasmus+ Training Course for women working in youth work, education, and volunteering. The training takes place in Ciutadella de Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, from 18 to 25 September 2026.

⚠️ This training is open to women only — 18 and above.

What Is This Training About?

She Who Knows is not just about gaining knowledge. It is about connection and growth. It invites women into a non-judgmental environment where they can explore who they are, share their own experiences, and learn from each other — women coming from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. The aim is to strengthen self-awareness, wellbeing, and sense of agency, while fostering sisterhood — a network of mutual support that extends beyond the training itself.
