As part of our global Youth Connect programme aimed at empowering young people to make a meaningful impact, we are delivering an educational workshop on the topic of gender equality and female leadership.
We are joining forces with Love Unbound: Five Films For Freedom – the festival that aims to explore a variety of LGBTQIA+ and gender equality experiences by harnessing the transformative influence of arts and culture – taking place in Thessaloniki from 20 to 21 March 2026.
The workshops aim to discuss the value of gender equality in leadership and its indisputable impact in addressing the different challenges we come across in our daily contexts with regards to gender at work. Through personal reflection and exchange of experiences, we will present good practices (projects, campaigns, policies, actions) that can help you manage challenges on a personal and professional level.
| When | Friday 20 March 2026, 15.00–18.00 |
| Where | Beetroot House 8 Syggrou Street 546 25 Thessaloniki |

As part of the festival, we will also offer two workshops on Deep Listening:
- Friday 20 March 2026, 16.00–17.30
- Saturday 21 March 2026, 13.00–14.30
Deep Listening is a transformational approach that enables us to have more profound encounters and truly understand each other. It can be used to help people discuss difficult topics – a way of listening that makes a speaker feel heard and acknowledged, so the listener can be open to views they might disagree with.
Based on rigorous academic evidence and real-life experiences, Deep Listening aims to empower people to create news ways of engaging with others, particularly across divides. In a 90-minute session, we will explore what it means to deep listen, enabling us to truly see, hear and understand the person opposite us.
