In our book club, #StoRafi, we read books related to the potential and experiences of women, including but not limited to gender equality and our professional growth. At the beginning of each month, we propose a book to the members of the book club. At the end of the month we meet, either in person or online, to exchange opinions about what we\u2019ve read; discuss the issues the book tackles; talk with people involved in the creation or related to the theme of the book; discover more books and create a community where our love of reading meets our vision for equal participation of all genders in all aspects of life. You are welcome to join #StoRafi regardless of whether you are an avid reader, have strong opinions about the issues we will be discussing, or have had the chance to read the book of the month. See below for answers to frequently asked questions about the book club, learn about this month\u2019s book and meeting, and join us at #StoRafi!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n

FAQ<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n What exactly is a book club? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

A book club is made up by people who like to read and to build a community to discover, read and discuss more great books \u2013 even books they would have never chosen to read otherwise. Sometimes, these people have something more in common (their place of residence, their workplace, or a shared interest, much like we share our interest in women\u2019s empowerment and equality in public life) and may base the content or the meetings of their club around that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that a book club is not necessarily and exclusively composed of bookworms, intellectuals, or scholars. It's also not necessary that every member reads the book proposed by the club every month, without ever missing a meeting. A book club is composed of people who love books and stories and who wish to learn something more, together.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n How do I become a member? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

Participation in #StoRafi is completely free, and no special registration is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stay informed about the book we are reading each month, it is best to regularly check the WHEN website, follow us on social media, or, better yet, sign up for our monthly newsletter to ensure you receive all necessary information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To join one or all of our meetings, you simply need to show up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would greatly appreciate it if you are on time (we start on time); if you don\u2019t hesitate to share your opinion (no matter how unique it may seem); if you ask questions; and if you propose books that you may have read or heard about. Feel free to bring your friends, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you truly enjoy this process and work at a company or organisation, you can also suggest to your HR department to contact us, so that we can organise a book club specifically for you.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Do I need to be a woman to participate? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

Not necessarily! WHEN is an inclusive organisation, and we are very pleased to have women, men, and non-binary persons who are interested in gender equality and inclusion join our events. We just ask you to observe the principles of respect and empathy that form the basis of everything we try to accomplish, irrespective of your gender.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Can I come to a meeting if I have not read the book of the month? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

Of course! The club meetings themselves provide an opportunity to listen, learn, exchange views, and form an opinion, not only about the books we are reading but also about the important issues addressed in these books. In most of our meetings, you will also have the opportunity to listen to speakers who are somehow related to the book of the month or its theme, and who will share their unique perspectives with us.
<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Why does WHEN need a book club? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

Our question is, why did it take us so long to create one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our experience, within and outside of WHEN, communities of people who come together, either face-to-face or online, around a subject that interests them, are discovering the best ways to learn, network, feel stronger, shape or change their opinions, and communicate. Books provide us with innumerable subjects like that, and they are a subject in themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also believe that reading is essentially a social process, as it becomes more meaningful, enjoyable, and effective when we do it together or with other people whom we trust and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, at WHEN, this book club is a special opportunity to discuss with people who are interested in our work and vision issues that are not sufficiently addressed in our daily life, but, in our opinion, are critical to ensure fairness, growth, and prosperity for everyone.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n How can I propose a book? <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \n

It will make us very happy if you do so, however you please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can send an email to info@womenontop.gr, use the contact form<\/strong><\/a>, send us a message on any of our social media pages, or join one of our meetings and propose the book in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure the book you have in mind is translated into Greek, is in circulation, and is in some way related to the themes, interests and vision of WHEN.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
