TandEM Women in Cycling

🌍 Why This Programme Matters

Across Europe, more men than women cycle daily—not because women don’t want to, but because barriers like safety concerns, lack of infrastructure, and limited role models stand in the way. The best way to change this? More women leading the movement.

That’s where you come in. TandEM equips women with the tools, knowledge, and network to become cycling trainers and advocates. Since 2022, our alumni have led local cycling initiatives, connected with like-minded women across Europe, and strengthened their leadership skills.

What You’ll Gain

💡 Leadership & Training Skills: Learn how to teach and inspire other women to cycle.
🌍 An International Network: Connect with women from across the EU who share your passion.
📢 Entrepreneurial & Advocacy Insights: Gain skills to grow initiatives and create lasting change.
💰 Financial & Logistical Support: Receive €350 to fund your activities, plus a fully covered trip to Brussels (travel & accommodation included).
