EmpowerHer: A Pioneering European Programme for the Empowerment of Women after Breast Cancer
On the occasion of World Cancer Day, we present the European programme EmpowerHer, an international initiative in which Olympiacos S.F.P. actively participates. The aim of the project is to provide meaningful support and empowerment to women who are undergoing treatment or have completed their journey with breast cancer.
What is the EmpowerHer programme?
EmpowerHer is an innovative European project coordinated by the University of Valencia – Department of Physiotherapy. It is a multidisciplinary partnership that brings together universities, technology organisations, and healthcare professionals — oncologists, nutritionists, psychologists — with a common goal: to create a digital and community-based support framework.
The programme focuses on three key pillars:
Specialised Exercise: Tailored to the needs of patients.
Education: Providing reliable information on health and wellbeing.
Social Connection: Creating a community that promotes mutual support.
Participation in the Research: Your voice matters
At the current stage of the project, an important research study is being conducted through a questionnaire. We invite women who are currently undergoing treatment or have completed their treatments to share their experience.
Why participate? Recording your real needs will help develop tools that can meaningfully improve the quality of life of women across Europe.
