This 2-day in-person workshop will take place on 8-9 May 2025 (in person, location TBC). It is aimed at Head of Equality Bodies.
Background
Piloted in 2024 with the financial support of FADA, the Leadership for Equality Hub for heads of National Equality Bodies seeks to synergize leadership’s efforts to create a common vision and ambition in shaping the transposition of the Standards Directives. The Leadership for Equality Hub will serve as a high-level platform for exchange, support, and strategic planning to coordinate advocacy efforts and share best practices on ensuring and monitoring a robust transposition process of the newly adopted directives.
This initiative is based on prior discussions and feedback received from the leadership level within the Equinet membership, pointing and agreeing that a new additional level of dedicated support and cooperation among the heads of equality bodies would bring further benefits and added-value to their work and engagement in Equinet.
Objectives
- Create a confidential, safe space for heads of National Equality Bodies to exchange ideas, learn, and expand their networks.
- Ensure coordination and information at the highest level in implementing the EU Standards Directives

- Facilitate connections and collaborations among various National Equality Bodies at leadership level.
