Outside Media & Knowledge (OMK) is a German-based organisation working at the intersection of inclusive education, media, and European cooperation. Guided by the values of equity and cultural understanding, OMK strives to make vocational education and training (VET) more inclusive through creative, culture-based learning methods. It specialises in empowering hard-to-reach groups – including NEET youth, women, and migrants – ensuring that diversity in all its forms is embraced.
This mission is reflected in OMK’s work through:
As a WEC partner, OMK plays a key role in bridging gender gaps in the construction sector. Within the project FEMCON in Germany, OMK conducted national research on women in the construction industry, publishing insightful reports that highlight challenges and best practices. The team also co-produced a podcast series to amplify female perspectives in construction, offering a platform for women to share their experiences and inspire others. Through these contributions, OMK is helping shape more inclusive training curricula and raising awareness across the industry.
OMK’s commitment to gender equality, educational innovation, and youth empowerment is at the heart of everything it does. Beyond the WEC project, the organisation has led initiatives in peacebuilding, cultural diversity, and civic education – all aimed at empowering individuals and fostering inclusive communities. By blending educational innovation with media and culture, OMK continues to champion equal opportunities and inspire positive change.
