Awareness raising, education, training, and knowledge management

We cannot transform employers and staff, overnight, from traditional to one that embraces a contemporary, inclusive working culture. But it is possible to make a positive difference to those who work around and with us. Giving correct Information – for example- on parental leave, return to work and flexible working policies contribute a lot to develop a gender sensitive working environment. All this leading to the necessity to rise the knowledge on gender related issue among the employees and as well as among managers. That’s why seminars, conferences, summer schools, training laboratories, e-learning for employees, constant dissemination of a gender culture and knowledge at any level of staff and students can give a consistent help. Focus groups with staff to discuss and share their experiences can be a very powerful instrument to raise awareness from one side but also for a better organization of work.
