La experiencia de la Unión Europea”.

The workshop promoted knowledge of the incorporation and implementation of gender equality policies in the processes of regional integration of the European Union (EU) by identifying progresses and challenges this institutionalization process had to undergo. Furthermore the application of public policies of gender mainstreaming in the case of Germany where presented. Participants where given theoretical and practical tools in order to enable them to intervene in debates about the development of initiatives and/or policies aiming at the realization of higher levels of gender equality and egality within the institutions and fields they are introduced to.

The course/workshop is offered as part of the Project G-NET:  Equality training Network- EU contributions to gender mainstreaming and citizenship, co-financed by the European Union within Jean Monnet de Erasmus+ program. It will be offered again next summer term.
