#WECAN is all about breaking barriers and enabling women to fulfil their potential.

As a project participant you not only gain access to support and training to assist you on your leadership journey but you have the opportunity to take part in research, to enable us to make lasting change for women in the workplace.

Through research we aim to deepen our understanding of women’s lived experiences and influence how organisations can be more inclusive.

If you would like to find out more about how to get involved and contribute to contemporary research based on real life issues, please join us at this online briefing session led by #WECAN Academic Lead Professor Anastasia Konstantopoulou.

About #WECAN

#WECAN is a three year £1.7 million project part funded by the European Social Fund. Led by Leeds Beckett University and working with a network of partners including Edge Hill University and Social Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber, the project aims to support the next generation of women leaders in the Leeds City Region by building their leadership skills, capabilities and opportunities.

European Social Fund

The project has a budget of £1.7m over three years, partly funded by partners and partly from the European Social Fund as part of the 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme in England. The Department for Work and Pensions (and in London the intermediate body Greater London Authority) is the Managing Authority for the England European Social Fund programme. Established by the European Union, the European Social Fund helps local areas stimulate their economic development by investing in projects which will support skills development, employment and job creation, social inclusion and local community regenerations.
