This 2.5 day in-person workshop will take place in Krakow, Poland on 25-26-27 February 2025. It is aimed at Equinet members’ experts that will advocate or advise on the transposition of the Standards Directives at the national level.
Background
In 2024, Equinet hired Equal Rights Trust to produce, thanks to a grant provided by the German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, a thorough legal analysis of the provisions in the directives, to the benefit of equality body staff working on transposition and implementation and legal practitioners (including CSOs and public authority experts), as well as a shorter document in the form of a toolkit summarizing the main findings in an easily accessible format. Access these documents here.
Building on this work, this 2.5-day Workshop aims at presenting and discussing the outputs in depth and helping Equinet members use it to defend their interests.
Objectives
- Analyse and shine a light on potential different interpretations of all relevant articles of the EU Directives, with a focus on their scope, added value and potential risks
- Reflect on relevant interactions between the EU Directives and other international and European supporting legal and policy documents
- Ensure thorough understanding of the 2024 outputs by those in a position to advise on the transposition of the Standards Directives
- Leverage the 2024 outputs in order to ensure an in-depth understanding of the possibilities they present
Participants
The target audience of this workshop is Equality Body experts that will advocate or advise on the transposition of the Standards Directives at the national level.
