About this event
The Mutual Capacity Building Action "Voices in Dialogue" has as its central objective the creation of a space for discussion on some of the main challenges facing women participating in the sphere of local development in Portugal. Based on the assumption of mutual empowerment between trainers and trainees, this action builds on the research results of the project "Network voices: Women's participation in development processes in Portugal" to jointly reflect on issues such as reconciling professional, family and personal life; the specificities of work in an area where gender asymmetries persist at various levels; or the gaps between public policies and practices in the area of gender equality, namely in Portugal.
Throughout the sessions, methodologies will be used to encourage the active participation of all and the acquisition of knowledge applicable in their contexts of intervention as professionals in the field of development.
