Welcome to the Equal Agender Website

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.

You are welcome to look around and find out more about Agender.  The site offers you a window into the work of the UK partners and links into the transnational working (WINGS).  Read about the work of the sub-groups and projects.  Finally, please feel free to contact us for further information and book mark this page so that you can visit regularly to find out what is new.
