Learning Journeys are a highlight of EWMD: 5 days (usually) during which you meet EWMD members, exchange and network with them, meet interesting companies with gender policies or simply owned by female entrepreneurs, listen to different stories, live in places completely different from what you’re used to, see new places and approach new cultures and countries. I personally am a fan of them and try never to miss any. In 2022, at EWMD International Conference in Berlin I decided to engage in the organization of the 2023 Learning Journey, and immediately thought of Sicily as destination. Sicily is surely the Italian Region I love the best, apart from my own one: Emilia Romagna – and have always had good connections with the wonderful people of this wonderful island, thanks to my female entrepreneurs’ networks, and personal friends.

The way forward for women’s self-empowerment in both personal and professional life is to ensure women have a solid understanding of how critical it is to invest in their financial independence alongside their professional growth and well-being.

Women have become a driving force of the economical and social growth, their thriving contribution is key for the sustainable growth of the business organizations, the society and the new generations.

We have reached a milestone in our journey towards closing the gender gap!
On October 26th we officially launched the “Brussels Declaration” in Brussels, the EU headquarters.
A first, big step to start the communication between us, the ones affected by decisions made in Brussels in regards to gender parity, and the decision makers and interested parties.
We started the evening with a welcome speech from Paola Ligabue and Nadine Nembach, EWMD International Co-Presidents and initiators of the Brussels Declaration, who gave a short overview on the “Brussels Declaration”:
Why did we start this initiative, and how did we get to our current success together with our cooperation partners?
There is still something to do!
There have been a lot of improvements during the past decade. Still, the COVID-19 situation has shown us how quickly we revert to old role models and habits. We need to find a way to check what is missing through an analysis of cause and effect, to gather existing directives and monitoring systems, to improve them and connect them with a working sanctioning framework to make sure implementation is happening and follow-ups are in place.
The current time necessary to close the global gender gap has gone from 99.5 years to 135.61 in recent years.
In our opinion: Not an option! We need to install a direct communication and thus accelerate change!

A qualified panel composed of Paola Ligabue, Recruiter and international consultant, International Co-President of EWMD International Network, Renato Goretta, Entrepreneur, owner of Gesta and member of the National Presidency Council of SME within Confindustria, Giuseppe Millico, National Account Manager of Indeed and Ilenia Montanari, HR Manager of Tecomec, will discuss of the Yolo Economy in the Italian reality. The theme will be examined in all its aspects: from the mismatch between demand and labor supply to the role that employer branding assumes in the loyalty of its collaborators and attraction of people who can bring value to the company. The aim is to understand the changes brought to companies by the individual’s orientation, which aims at taking a greater entrepreneurial risk, in the workplace, leaving the security of a steady job. EWMD Italy’s event aims to start reflections and rethinking allowing us to identify new ways to respond to those needs that are expressed through a YOLO philosophy of life and choices that can sometimes seem incomprehensible if examined according to the traditional paradigm of life-work balance.

Let us introduce Daniela Busà, the National Representative of EWMD Switzerland.
Born in Italy, close to the Austrian border, she started speaking her second language as she was 6 years old and she began travelling abroad on her own at age 16.

Since then, travelling and discovering led her around the world as an intellectually curious human being. She grew up and graduated in modern literature and foreign languages in Brescia and after that She moved for some periods of her life abroad.

Actually, it seems she is not stopping moving, as she moved three times in the last five years but in the same country, Switzerland.

After paying her dues, she achieved in 2003 the role of sales and marketing director, which over the years she has carried out for various Italian contract manufacturers specialized in plastic technologies. She could establish profitable relationships with international customers in the #automotive, medical and pharmaceutical markets.

She founded in 2008 a manufacturing outsourcing services company for the industrial and medical sectors.

In 2015, she moved to Zurich to work with a company that commissioned her to open up the pharmaceutical market, specifically for the supply of plastic components and assemblies for medical devices.

Since 2020 Daniela Busà Consulting is her new baby as #specialist for SMEs business development strategies and coaching of their sales teams embodying the motto “From contact to contracts”.

Daniela joined EWMD Brescia, Italy in 2017 as she’d like to start giving and sharing part of her life with a great group of human beings.

EWMD matches perfectly with her as a woman, a networker, an international oriented spirit, as a traveller and as a multicultural initiatives fan.

She moved to the EWMD Switzerland Zürich in 2019.

In March 2020 she was elected as National Representative of EWMD Switzerland.

We have asked her: why EWMD

She has replied us:

EWMD represents my social commitment to others, it moves me away from selfishness and from the risk of egocentrism. I meet many talented women and men who are willing and ready to #share their experiences, skills and knowledge. The most joyful moments are those spent together at our conferences and online during the many webinars offered by very experienced professionals and EWMD members.

The time spent with the members at EWMD are very precious, you can breathe advocacy, respect for others, desire to make our world better in its everyday life. Current and concrete problems are addressed and solutions are found.

We are there for each other. This is one of the main values I share with my friends at EWMD.

We are experiencing exceptional times: Covid-19 has changed our lives in the past few months and will possibly have a durable impact on many aspects of our normality.
Economy, politics, health and education, but also gender equality: all these fields are now affected by COVID-19 emergency. EWMD and FEDEPE, Spanish Federation of Women Directors, Executives, Professionals and Businesswomen, decided to collaborate in order to give a perspective of European female leadership on the current situation through a joint interview.
The heads of FEDEPE (Ana Bujaldon) and EWMD (Nadine Nembach and Paola Ligabue), who have been in contact for some years, highlight the need of listening to women’s voices for the recovery ahead, and on the importance of collaboration networks at an international level. Read the FEDEPE and EWMD joint publication:

FEDEPE, the Spanish Federation of Women Directors, Executives, Professionals and Businesswomen, a state-approved organization that represents almost 26’000 women all over Spain united by common goals: to work for equality between men and women, to eradicate gender discrimination and to promote inclusive and sustainable female leadership models, especially in the workplace. It aims to achieve these objectives through different programs, formative events and the yearly FEDEPE awards, which are presided by her Majesty the Queen of Spain. In addition, through its accreditation as an advisory body to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), FEDEPE systematically contributes to achieving gender equality and women's leadership through its vision and experience, and is very present throughout Spain supporting institutions in the implementation of measures aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
