TAKING THE STAGE - Gender equality in the performing arts International Women’s Day Nordic Breakfast Discussion Wednesday, 8th March, 08:30 - 10:30 CET

Our annual International Women’s Day Nordic Breakfast Discussion will this year focus on gender equality in the performing arts.

Join us for a breakfast discussion with a group of performing arts professionals and hear their view from a Nordic perspective on issues regarding gender and discrimination within the performing arts industry. The panel will explore a range of topics, from visibility and representation in the industry to creating space for intersectionality and understanding masculinity in the context of gender equality. Also, asking questions: Who should we engage in discussions like this? Who is doing the work right now, and who needs to? Do inclusion policies in this industry truly work?
