IME/GSEVEE’s Equality Office is going to organize six two-day Seminars (lasting 10 hours each) as part of its targeted actions for training and empowering women. These Seminars aim at increasing, both quantitatively and qualitatively, female participation in collective bodies, as well as at promoting women in positions of responsibility.
The seminars will be held in the Regions where the headquarters of the regional bodies of IME/GSEVEE are located:
Objectives of the Seminars
The above seminars are designed to develop skills and strategies in order to support female participation in collective bodies and representative institutions, to promote women in positions of responsibility, and to address broader issues regarding the elimination of gender stereotypes.
Subject Areas
Subjects to be addressed in these Seminars emerge from statistic data, as well as the needs, the priorities and the demands of women themselves. The current situation was portrayed by a survey that was carried out by IME/GSEVEE’s Equality Office, according to which it is obvious that gender stereotypes regarding the presence and activities of women on the public sphere are well established and entrenched.
Based on the above findings, the subject areas that will be covered by the Seminars include the following:
Target Groups

Women who can participate in the Seminars may already be members of unions and local or sectoral federations, but they may also have no affiliation with any collective organization.
The number of beneficiaries from this particular action is estimated at around 100 women.
