Budapest was the set of the second meeting of TWoWo partners for the Grundtvig project of lifelong learning to promote higher participation in the labour market of women and the development of the social and business benefits of teleworking.

 First, Dr Laczkó Zsuzsanna, who organized the meeting, introduced SEED’s work and staff members, pointing the social role of the economic association. Objective of this meeting was to focus the attention to women’s need to understand better the role of teleworking in women-labour market.  To identify the target of learning project, Dr Laczkó presented the outcome of her research done in Hungary among  120 women (entrepreneurs, would-be-entrepreneurs, Hungarian telework association’s members, employed, unemployed ). If nowadays telework can be a real competiveness in this kind of labour market, unfortunately its knowledge in the Hungarian society is limited and too much permeated of stereotypes (such as “Telework is different from a real work because it has no defined time”; “Communication with headquarters can be difficult”; "It's a work which isolate people"; “It’s a work for women with many children and less no hope of career "...) Although these restrictions, 67% of women interviewed think that spreading of telework could be improved if government would support it, and 64% think it would be a real advantage if it was possible to use more modern leadership methods. Dr Laczkó pointed out  that the situation nowadays is different from years ago when probably women would have stressed the economic cost of this kind of work (for access to Internet and for all the software tools..). The outcome of the research is that telework can’t be independent from learning and knowing out to work with, and that the idea of telework has to be spread in the society because women could represent the best force labour.

After Dr Laczkó, Mr Jonos Kepes - head of BMIK, Telework Centre of Budapest- explained the legal and economical aspect of telework, whereas the other partners (from Italy and UK) told about the position in their country.
