The Lidera Strategy [Barcelona, Spain]

Barcelona LIDERA © Genderedlandscape (2022)

Barcelona Activa is the local development agency of Barcelona City Council, and a partner in the URBACT GenderedLandscape Action Planning Network. Its mission is to drive economic policy and local development in order to promote an improved quality of life for residents, fostering employment and enterprise, and supporting small-sized companies. In 2016 it launched Lidera, the latest in its 30-year history of programmes supporting female leadership and the creation and growth of women-led business.

With a budget from the European Regional Development Fund and the Operational Programme Catalonia, the initiative supports women who want to work in their dream profession through training programmes, professional skills and competencies training, those who want to grow in their workplace by giving them tools to tackle professional challenges and improve their workplaces and those who want to make their business idea come true through intensive programmes, workshops and seminars39. It aims to close both the entrepreneurship gap and the pay gap, in part by encouraging more women and girls into higher paid science and technological sectors. Its Nenes, dones i ciència: Girls, Women and Science inspiration campaign raises the profile of opportunities for women. Lidera also collects women s stories in short clips on their website, inspiring other women through shared experiences. Lidera s impact is strengthened by collaboration with a network of over 100 women s organisations, from migrant groups to professional women s associations. An information campaign around the city is seen as integral to transforming attitudes, business culture and breaking the glass ceiling. In 2021, Lidera had 1642 participants across all its entrepreneurship programmes, and in 2022, as part of the URBACT GenderedLandscape Action Planning Network, it was able to open a new co-working space for female entrepreneurs.
