What does it mean to care - and why doesn’t it “fit” in our work?

This podcast episode is dedicated to care - a word with many different meanings, especially when it comes to work and daily life. How does the unequal distribution of caregiving responsibilities affect the lives of caregivers? What does it mean for women to be consistently present in the role of informal caregivers, and what is the role of men in this landscape? 

Starting with the most central question –why discuss care in the workplace– in the first episode of the new series, Stella Kasdagli, co-founder of WHEN/inc.lude and author, welcomes Asimina Brouzou, co-founder of the organisation Challedu. Together they introduce us to the new European project CAREdiZO: a project that aims to bridge the gender gap in caring responsibilities and empower small businesses and organisations to adopt equality policies and practices.

CAREdiZO: “Gaining from caring” - A new European project by MIGS on gender equality at work, at home and in society. his European project aims to promote the equal share of care and close the gender gap by empowering organizations and businesses through  innovative digital tools, training, and networking opportunities. 

In partnership with Founderz and Microsoft, WHEN has secured a free 3-hour online training program for its community, designed to empower women and equip them with the skills they need to shape the future of AI.
