SHE4SEA

De-gendering blue economy sectors by promoting employability, professional involvement, and entrepreneurial development of women

To build a resilient maritime sector, equipped to withstand and adapt to changing conditions and positively recover from shocks and stresses, such as climate hazards, geopolitical uncertainty, and technological change, coordinated actions and sectoral transformation are required. During this transitional phase, it is of high importance to adopt a fair and inclusive approach that “Leaves No One Behind”, with the aim of alleviating inequalities already existing in the sector.


In this context, the She4Sea project aims at promoting professional readiness and development of women wishing to pursue a career in maritime tourism, fisheries & aquaculture, and shipping. To this end, it fosters the acquisition of soft skills, grouped into the following three competence eras: Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability. Being human-centred, these skills are suitable for women’s introduction and adaptation to smarter and greener maritime job positions as well as for de-gendering existing traditional notions.
