WINBLUE and WIN-BIG: Workshop on the Blue Economy and Gender Equality

Our sister project WINBLUE - Empowering Women and Mainstreaming Gender Equality in the Blue Economy is organising a workshop to build a co-ordination process with the WIN-BIG project (selected under the same EMFAF call “Women in the Blue Economy”) and triggering a collaboration process with other International, European, national, and regional initiatives.

The workshop aims to exchange experiences and knowledge; discuss the challenges related to Gender Equality, in particular focusing on the blue economy; identify a set of joint actions and define a common plan to be implemented for:

• ensuring the availability of data on GE in the blue economy sectors
• sharing online courses and materials on GE in the blue economy sectors
• sharing good practices
• organising joint participation in local, national and European events
• activating a mutual learning process among the participants, aiming to establish a collaboration for co-organising activities and events.
