In the West many women - by no means all -
have the opportunity to benefit from enlightened highschool or college studies
that fulfil this function.
In developing countries these opportunities
often do not exist. The Internet offers new channels. It crosses boundaries and
provides new facilities for study and self education.
Catherine of Siena Virtual College offers
courses that will empower women to understand
their own situation better and to free themselves from unwarranted cultural
limitations.
These courses will also enable men to serve
all members of their communities more effectively. |

Our Virtual College aims at reaching out to
these groups:
a. Women in developing
countries who study in universities and colleges but who have no
access to good courses on women’s issues. By enrolling in one or two of
our courses, they will benefit from the best international scholarship while
receiving academic credit for such studies.
b.
Women training for leadership roles in society or religion, such as
teachers, politicians, social leaders, etc. who would profit from studying the
specific female angle of belief and social service.
c. Women in later life with access to the internet
who want to update themselves on the latest thinking and research regarding
women’s issues.
d. Men such as social
leaders, lecturers and teachers who want to equip themselves for
better service to their female family members, co-citizens and students. |
