About this learning event

Alumni members and participants of the WeLead project will be offered free access to a self-paced online course hosted on the CEF Online Learning Campus (OLC). The self - paced will focus on one of the European Union’s core values, gender equality.

As part of the WeLead initiative, this self-paced course on gender equality is designed for young public officials from the Western Balkans interested in strengthening their capacity to apply gender-sensitive approaches in their professional environments. The course explores gender equality as a core European Union value, linking it with public administration, budgeting, finance and key areas of EU integration and reform.

The course takes a transformative and rights-based approach to gender equality. It addresses the structural causes of gender inequality by integrating perspectives of gender equity and mainstreaming. Through real-world examples, relevant EU frameworks, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to make public policies more inclusive and impactful.

Understand the distinctions between gender equality, equity, balance, and mainstreaming
Identify structural causes of gender inequality in public institutions
Learn how to integrate gender perspectives into budgeting and financial decision-making
Explore the intersection of gender in the EU accession context
