Who We Are

Vision

All IWA Modena members fully embrace their life in Modena and actively support other women.

Mission

The International Women’s Association of Modena is a volunteer run, non-profit network of Women for Women who live in and around Modena. We are a group of internationally-minded, English-speaking women who support each other, with (1) the integration into a new community (2) empowering each other in our personal and professional development (3) providing opportunities to contribute to the association and the local community at large

Values

FUN

Life in the association is full of laughter, joy and fun. Our positive mindset and enthusiasm is what makes our association and its members thrive, get excited and leave their comfort zones while exploring new terrain and have fun together.

RECIPROCITY

We have built our association on mutual relationships between our members and our community. Giving and sharing, volunteering and helping without asking for anything in return; sit at the core of our combined values. The interdependence of reciprocity requires us to accept personal responsibility and be involved when needed.

INCLUSIVITY

We value inclusivity and celebrate diversity. Our members are from all around the world with different cultural backgrounds, opinions and personal views.  As an association we pride ourselves in being open minded, kind and respectful to everyone.

EMPOWERMENT

A woman alone has power, but together we have impact. We are committed to energizing, engaging, empowering and supporting each other in gaining self-confidence, courage, and independence. We encourage one another to stand up for our cause, to act pragmatically and “walk the talk”.
