Welcome to the Equal Agender
Website
"Women do some jobs, men do others."
The
Agender Partnership has set out to promote positive images of people in
non-gender-stereotyped jobs and remove this common misunderstanding. By
removing this pre-conceived idea, it is hoped that women and men will
become more likely to consider non-traditional roles in their hunt for
employment. It is likely that the outcomes of the pilot exercises
co-ordinated by Agender will show how pathways into non-gender traditional
roles can become easily accessible to women and men.
The
Agender project has successfully achieved its final phase of delivery,
with all Action 2 activity projects completed in September 2007. Agender
is now focusing on Action 3 which is the final
stage of the project for dissemination and mainstreaming good practice
and ends in December 2007.
New
projects, mainstreaming events and materials include the “Lisbon
Connecting Policy with Practice” event taking place in Brussels, The Equal
“Cross Networking” event in November 2007 and “Agender DVD” which will
tell the story of the Agender programme, plus much more products and
reports to draw out some of the key learning points and findings.
