Throughout 2025, Equinet will host a series of three workshops. They are aimed at Members of the Equinet Project on Standards, but open to the rest of the membership.

- 18 March (online)

- 23 September (in person, location TBC, in conjunction with the Standards Project meeting)
Background
The adoption of EU legislation on Equality Bodies is a major step towards better implementation and enforcement of EU equal treatment legislation and effective protection of the rights of all victims of discrimination across Europe. The Directives establish minimum requirements for these bodies, allowing and recommending Member States to go beyond the minimum requirements enshrined there to ensure the best protection from discrimination possible to all persons.
Building on the work done within the Project on Standards for Equality Bodies and the Equinet secretariat, as well as the Workshop series run in 2024, this new series aims to continue to provide National Equality Bodies with tools and practical examples to ensure the best possible transposition and implementation.
In essence, Equinet’s targeted workshops on standards for Equality Bodies not only fortify their capabilities but also bolster the collective effort towards a more equitable society.
Objectives
- Continue providing tools and support regarding key issues of the Standards Directives to ensure the best possible transposition and implementation.
- Provide a platform for regular discussions on the Standards Directives.
- Ensure a correct, swift, and ambitious transposition of the Standards Directives
Participants
The target audience of these workshops is Members of the Equinet Project on Standards, but they are open to the rest of the membership
