Peer Review Workshops

Background
Final event, Brussels, 1-2 February 2007
Third Peer Review Workshop, Brussels, 30 Nov- 1 Dec 06
Second Peer Review Workshop, Enna 6-8 October 06
First Peer Review Workshop, Barcelona 17-20 May 06

Background

The peer review and development workshops will focus on the following themes:

• sharing of domestic responsibilities
• gender equality in the workplace
• socialisation and education

It is envisaged that there will be three such exchanges over the life of the project. Each workshop will focus on one of the three areas outlined above. Each workshop, whilst focusing on the specific themes outlined above will aim to:

• Provide a vehicle for the exchange of experience and practice between the project partners. Thus providing an action-learning approach which would draw on the experience of participants from the LAG's and offer support and professional development for the key actors involved
  
• With the input of external experts, analyse approaches and strategies that have so far successfully focused on the role of men and boys in achieving gender equality, in different parts of the EU and internationally
  
• Identify persistent obstacles and challenges to men's and boys' full participation in efforts to achieve gender equality
  
• Identify the value of gender equality for men, and any benefits for men and boys that may result from greater equality between women and men, considering a wide range of issues relevant throughout the lifecycle

Each workshop would bring together 4 delegates from each of the LAG's plus external experts and invited delegates from organisations/networks active in the related area.

Final event, Brussels, 1-2 February 2007

The closing workshop of the Genderwise project took place in Brussels on 1-2 February 2007.
