Last Friday, 25 April, as part of Sodimac’s Great Training Fair, an event organised by the Chilean company dedicated to the sale of construction materials and the training of both men and women working on-site, an outreach event was held for the ‘Women Can Build LatAm’ project, co-funded by the European Union.

More than 100 people attended the session, during which participants and companies from the sector were introduced to the project’s goals, its next steps, and how it is building an international network with Italy, Spain, and Argentina to advance the inclusion of women in construction trades.

In addition to the presentation of this European project, visitors to the RedMaestra stand had the opportunity to hear first-hand stories from women who are now recognised figures on site, while also receiving guidance on certification, employability, and technical training with a gender perspective.
