Background

TON implemented in the period 2018-2021 (February) the REGAL international project that was materialized locally in Moldovita commune (Suceava) by conducting 12 Focus Groups with women to raise awareness of the term WLB (Work Life Balance). TON realized in the project time how insufficient this term is known in rural Romania, how new the approach was for the participants and how stimulated the work was within the Focus Groups.

During the National Conference held on March 22, 2021 attended by many representatives and coordinators of women's groups members of TON Foundation, was realized that the impact in Moldovita it was especially great among the direct beneficiaries and that the groups of women who are part of our Foundation are eager for this kind of activities. At the same time, from the discussions TON had during the National Conference, not only the idea of developing this project on a larger scale emerged, but it was realized that the work within the project developed at Moldovita can be transformed into a new and efficient method of work in any women's organization.
