Co-creating Gender Equality from Classroom to Organization: Innovations in Nordic Welfare Societies (Gender Equality)

Abstract:

The project brings together a diverse set of stakeholders in three Nordic countries to participate in an exploratory co-creative workshop combining three interrelated topics: T1 Gender-influenced educational choices by young people, T2 Problems due to norms of masculinity in leadership, T3 Gendered organizational norms. After a brief period of methodology development between the three partner teams, three workshops will take place in succession in three Nordic locations, namely Stockholm, Helsinki and Copenhagen. The workshops will include business and academic leaders, educators, managers, students, volunteers, NGOs, educational institutions, and youth/student organisations, allowing them to discuss the topics in one shared forum as well as co-create solutions to these issues. Using the workshops as data, the research team will analyse the insights to synthesize outcomes, i.a. policy and action strategies, and methods for addressing such organizational challenges in a Nordic context.
