Workshop 1
Actors for Change? Men and the Politics of Equal Opportunity

Including: Ingvar Hjärtsjö (Mänliga, Sweden), Willi Walter (Forum Männer, Berlin, Germany), Margarete Kreimer (men’s counseling, Graz, Austria)

Actors in non-governmental men's politics from Poland, Austria, Sweden and Germany present different approaches to men's politics. Discussions will focus on possibilities for creating synergies and networks. What role can and should men's politics play in future EU equal opportunity policies?


Workshop 2
Gender Politics from Childhood Onwards – the Potential for Change through (School) Education Policies – a European Comparison

Including: Rainer Domisch (Department of Education, Finland), Bielefelder Laborschule, Adelheid Berghammer (Gender Mainstreaming Commissioner at the Pedagogical Institute in Upper Austria)

The foundations for gender hierarchies as well as gender democracy are laid in pre-schools and schools. This is where gender roles and gender relationships are practiced as part of children's socialization. We want to debate the possibilities offered by state educational policies and different feminist and/or gender democratic approaches with regard to a gender-fair development of curricula and didactics as well as teacher training and find out about various strategies and methods to introduce gender-fair education.

Workshop 3
Give Us Time! – (Local) Time Politics as Gender Politics

Including: Alessandra De Cugis (Milan, Italy), Ulrich Mückenberger (University of Hamburg), Imke Meyer (Women's Commissioner of the city of Hanau, Germany)

Coordinating a professional and a family life and achieving a gender-fair division of labor in both areas of life is more than just a question of money for women and men, it is also a matter of time and social conditions and opportunities. In both areas, outside forces determine how much time is available. We want to explore approaches to local time politics that aim to achieve a more efficient organization of "time in the city" and give us greater freedom to determine our own use of time. What is the potential of time-based approaches for emancipative gender politics?

Workshop 4
Mind the (Pay) Gap! – Equal Opportunity on the Way to Lisbon

Including: Catelene Passchier (ETUC Brussels), Friederike Maier (FHW Berlin), Gundel Köbcke (Twinning Light Project in the Czech Republic)

According to the Lisbon Strategy, women's employment in the EU should rise to 60%. But what is the role of qualitative equal opportunity objectives: the same pay for the same (value of) work? Working time models? Earning an independent living through gainful employment?
We want to shed light on the role of the equal-pay principle in EU equal opportunity policies and European social dialogue, a principle which aims to combat the causes for the ongoing gender pay gap that places women at a disadvantage. We will also examine approaches for greater pay equality in individual member states.


Workshop 5
(Never)ending Modesty – Are We Satisfied with Equal Opportunity Politics in Europe?

Including:
Gender politics – equal opportunity politics – women's politics – gender justice – gender mainstreaming – emancipation… It is often hard to clearly differentiate between the growing number of terms that are used in connection with various gender-based approaches in political fields in Europe and around the world. Yet there is one word that is increasingly seldom heard and has almost fallen into disuse: "feminism" – as a term and a sociopolitical concept for change. This comes despite the fact that feminist movements are the starting point across the EU for emancipative changes, future-oriented analyses, and demands for equal opportunity policies in the EU. Have gender politics replaced feminism? Is it a continuation, and if so, what type of gender politics?
