The 2-day Multiplier event “Move it Forward+ Vilnius: Women for Sustainable Living” was organized on February 10th–11th, 2022 by one of project “Move it forward+” partners – Northtown Vilnius, Lithuania.

45 women interested in societal challenges in the areas of sustainability and the environment gathered together in the hackathon to develop innovative solutions that should motivate and enable people, families, and communities to lead more sustainable, responsible, resource and energy-efficient lifestyles in homes and offices, that could be achieved through community sharing and exchange initiatives.

The main topics approached during the hackathon “Move it Forward+ Vilnius: Women for Sustainable Living” were based on sustainability challenges in everyday life. Participants delved into the specifics of sustainable and responsible consumption, environmental challenges, sustainable business development, heard success stories, generated, or developed existing sustainability ideas using various digital tools (WordPress, Canva, WIX, etc.), improved business development skills, received mentoring and advice in idea development, business management and other areas that are important in growing idea.

Participants were satisfied with the content of the event, they admitted that workshop sessions and project work with coaches increased their knowledge and digital skills, and workshops in teams with mentors/coaches were stated as beneficial, helping to identify business ideas/projects strengths and weaknesses and guiding where and how to move further.

The Multiplier event “Move it Forward+ Vilnius: Women for Sustainable Living” is one of the joint complex activities carried out under the project “Move it forward+” and co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
