Description 

The Global Women Media is an ongoing project accessible for everyone. 

The project is implemented as part of the preparation for the Second Eurasian Women’s Forum on behalf of the working group of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation. 

Students guided by the scientific and teaching staff carry out research of the activities of women's organisations in Russia and abroad. These findings are used to develop communication projects aimed at: 

• creating a platform for women’s social, business-focused, and creative activity;
• drawing attention of the public and media to the activities of women’s organisations;
• focusing mass media’s efforts on forming the positive image of a woman. 

The Global Women Media, which is the Eurasian Women’s Forum’s news agency and informational and awareness-raising web-portal was developed and launched by the participants of the project. Representatives of women’s organisations can use this website to create their own webpage and update it with news, keep a calendar of events, communicate with like-minded people and journalists, and participate in educational webinars. 

Areas of scientific and practical work of the project: journalism, linguistics, psychology, advertising and PR, design. 

Goals

Methods

Expected Results 

Acquisition of skills in various activities, completion of portfolio with Russian and international projects; development of skills of professional research, organisation, and communication, expansion of experience in public performances, teamwork, and other skills of project development.
