Following the success of last year’s BLC Connect Event, we would like to welcome students and alumni back for our annual summer gathering.

The theme of this year’s BLC Connect Event is Women’s Career Paths in International Diplomacy. In a Danish context, it is not unusual that women have careers; however, there is still much debate on gender equality in regards to, for example, wages. When looking outside the Scandinavian borders, the divide between genders’ career opportunities and paths is even more explicit. Therefore, we would like to ask this year’s speakers to share their experiences with gender stereotyping and gender-specific obstacles– do they exist in international diplomacy? If they do, what are they and how have the speakers overcome them?

The event will conclude with a networking session followed by drinks and a light buffet in Café Nexus.

The purpose of the BLC Connect event is to provide an opportunity to catch up with former fellow students, to network with alumni across graduation years, and to hear inspiring presentations on a topic related to the BLC programmes (previously known as SPRØK).

We hope to see as many of you as possible!
