History
History
Chwarae Teg was launched by a consortium in 1992 in South Wales, and Jane Hutt, now a minister in the Welsh Government, was appointed its first director. In 2009 Chwarae Teg launched their European Social Fund and Welsh Government sponsored project, Agile Nation (more details below). Referred to as "Chwarae Teg Agile Nation project #1", the project was completed in March 2015. On 22 July 2015 Chwarae Teg launched another European Social Fund and Welsh Government sponsored project, "Agile Nation #2".
Agile Nation
Agile Nation
Launched in 2009 and completed in March 2015, the Chwarae Teg Agile Nation project aimed to promote gender equality, support the career advancement of women and contribute to a reduction in the gender pay gap. Agile Nation was a £12.5 million project funded by the European Social Fund and the Welsh Government. The project had two training programs: Ascent (targeted at individual women) and Evolve (targeted at employers). These helped over 2,921 individual women and 504 businesses as of March 2015.
