As part of the Unites!-series, UiT The Arctic University of Norway will host a workshop on Gender Equality, Gender-Based Violence, Inclusion, Racism, Discrimination, and LGBT+ Issues in Higher Education. The seminar comprises a 1.5-day workshop for staff and students working on these topics, and a 1-day conference.
Students and staff should feel secure on their campuses, regardless of their gender, origin, skin colour, philosophy, sexual orientation, etc.
Both the workshop and the conference day are a continuation of the Unites!-webinar-series, with the spotlight on good practices and challenges one might encounter in that endeavour.
Mobility and funding
Due to mobility funding, each partner university can send up to three persons.
NB: UiT students and staff are not eligible to apply for stipends for travel and accommodation since the workshop will take place on the UiT campus in Tromsø.
Content and Methodology
The aim of the workshop is to present the universities' best practices for preventing and addressing cases of bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, racism, and LGBTQ+ issues. The legal background for this work will also be part of the workshop.
The conference day will be open to all staff and students who are interested in learning how to combat inequality, prevent reprehensible behaviour, and raise awareness about how we can create and inclusive environment.
Through the exchange of experiences and best practices, we hope to provide all participants with new insights for their work and to build a network
