FESTA coordinates three workshops in Athens

At the 6th Equality, Diversity and Inclusion International Conference in Athens, Greece in July, 2013 the FESTA consortium will share their experiences from the FESTA project in a series of participatory workshops. We explore ways to transform organisations through gender. In workshops, FESTA partners elaborate the way theory informs practice in tasks concerned with raising awareness at individual and organisational level. Workshops explore ways to overcome resistance, raise awareness, and transform organisations so that new organisation cultures emerge.

Best-practice examples of universities who have successfully implemented gender initiatives and transformed organisation cultures are presented, and key elements for successfully implementing change and cultural transformation are identified.
