Description
Developed as part of the WE4LEAD project to strengthen gender equality in positions of responsibility, this MOOC offers a methodology and practical tools to promote a culture of gender equality in higher education institutions, as well as in any organisation seeking to become more equitable, inclusive and effective. The tools offered are diverse and complementary: gender-based data collection, index calculation, advice on drafting and monitoring a gender equality plan, definition of implicit gender biases, training in gender-neutral recruitment, and support in setting up sexual harassment hotlines. The WE4LEAD MOOC will equip you with the tools and keys to success you need to co-create fully inclusive organisations.

This MOOC consists of a teaser, an introduction and five sections presenting the five main topics covered by the WE4LEAD project.
