Barcelona Activa commemorates International Women's Day with the organisation of events and workshops to consolidate gender equality

Barcelona, 23 Feb 2023

8th March is approaching and Barcelona Activa has organised various events and workshops for the day and for the previous days. Within the framework of the commemoration of International Women's Day, the Agency promotes activities to enhance gender equality in all areas, from technology to investment and the labour market. 

As follows, you can find all the activities organised by Barcelona Activa within the framework of 8th March:

Roundtable on Artificial Intelligence (IA) and data focused on understanding the ChatGPT boom, ethical boundaries and utility it has and gender biases that it integrates.

10 Barcelona Libraries host activities for girls and boys between 9 and 12 years old to present women scientists and their discoveries.

We are opening the Technology Park's Fab Lab to hold a day of preparing billboards and messages for the 8M using digital manufacturing machinery (textile printing with vinyl and laser cutting). Register by sending an email to afparctecnologic@barcelonactiva.cat.

Event on women and funding focused on promoting more investor women, in which a new women's investment model will be announced for women. In the afternoon session we organize, with WA4STEAM, the Women Pitch Competition. It will feature a floral composition made by the students of the Decorator specialty in floral art from the Barcelona Trades Workshop for Nature.

Group support session in the orientation and job search processes, which allows us to understand what are the main barriers that women face in the occupational field.

Conference in which women who have overcome gender stereotypes in the professional field explain the experience of working in masculinised sectors. Data from the report 'Women in the labor market' (in Catalan) will be presented, which analyses the activity of the year 2022.

Activity where the values of leadership focused on social and economic transformation will be worked on, and the potential brought by the diversity of leadership, from a gender, race or class perspective.

  • 13th March: Presentation of the Women Mentoring Programme, organised by IT Academy of Barcelona Activa and NTT DATA.

New Mentoring Programme for Women who have completed a specialisation course at the IT Academy and are in a job search phase, with the aim of enhancing their labour market integration.

Barcelona Activa continues to work on accompanying women workers, entrepreneurs and businesswomen who need advice, resources to strengthen their career through Lidera. The programme provides a support and networking environment for women entrepreneurs, directors and professionals through initiatives to improve skills and promotion of self-leadership, among others.
