The collaboration between the National Union of Tunisian Women (UNFT) and DVV International Tunisia since 2019 has led to fruitful initiatives in the field of adult education. Radhia Jerbi, President of UNFT, highlights this collaboration aimed at promoting lifelong learning, thus recognizing UNFT's commitment in this field.

A part of this initiative focuses on the agricultural and rural sector of Chbedda, where a pilot initiative has been launched. This initiative emphasizes continuous learning and the acquisition of new skills for the residents of the region.

Learners share their personal experiences, revealing how their engagement in training, particularly in sewing, has opened up new prospects for them. They aspire to refine their skills and find recognition in their respective fields.

Another learner testifies to how enrolling in adult education centers has enabled her to develop her skills while juggling her family responsibilities.

The video also showcases the journey of Samia Kssila, a craftswoman from Kelibia, who benefited from the opportunity provided by UNFT to participate in the "Lella el Hadheka" project, thus valorizing her handicraft products and opening up new commercial horizons for her.

Thanks to this collaboration, women have been able to realize their dreams by venturing into entrepreneurship and becoming financially independent. This video testifies to how adult education can transform lives by offering opportunities for learning and empowerment.
