Equality and Diversity in Practice: EU Employment Policies. A Map Exercise Game

Brief description

This course will prepare for and apply a map exercise game to foster students’ ability to apply gender and diversity knowledge in practise. In the first part, students will review and discuss texts considering key actors, institutions and policy makers in the gender and diversity policy field of employment across EU member states. Past and present European employment strategies within the Europe 2020 Strategy will be analysed on the member state and supranational level of policy making. In the second part, students will experiment with acquired gender and diversity knowledge to relate this to a map exercise game. Here, students will develop and evaluate policies, regarding their assigned position in the game either as policy makers, NGO, political representative, business, employee or labour organisation. The goal is to create a lively training course setting introducing different options or barriers for agency concerning gender and diversity policies and practice.
