The program was implemented through four stages: needs assessment, participatory planning, training, and mentoring. The methods used included interactive lectures, group discussions, role-play, and contextual practice. The results of the activity showed significant improvements in participants' communication, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. In addition, several participants began to demonstrate informal leadership roles and greater involvement in community activities. These findings indicate that the experience-based participatory mentoring approach is effective in strengthening women's empowerment and preparing communities for socio-technological change. The program also helped participants develop adaptability to change, increased self-confidence, and facilitated the formation of broader social networks in their communities.
