Institute for Entrepreneurship Development – iED is organizing a transnational workshop entitled “The Impact of COVID-19 Crisis on Diverse Democratic Perspectives Through Gender Perspective“, on Tuesday 18 June 2024 in person at the JOIST Innovation Park in Larissa.
The workshop brings together experts and stakeholders to assess research findings, develop policy recommendations and explore the gender dimensions of the impact of the pandemic in different countries across Europe.
The workshop takes place as part of the European project ‘HEARD’ and is conducted in English.
About the Workshop
The recent unprecedented pandemic COVID-19 experienced by humanity has deeply affected societies worldwide and revealed the unpreparedness and inability of governments to cope with crises of this scale. Taking urgent decisions in conditions of limited time and information often sidelines democratic dialogue and citizen participation. This reasonably raises concerns about the functioning of democracy, the protection of human rights and the work-life balance of women.
Participate in debates, gain knowledge on the research methodology and contribute to the formulation of resilient and inclusive solutions to global challenges.

About the Project
HEARD focuses on the impact of the pandemic on democratic dialogue, fundamental rights, work and women’s lives through a gender perspective. The central idea of the project is that the way to tackle the pandemic should be the result of the participation of social stakeholders, civil society and the decision making bodies of each state. With the participation of partners from 9 different European countries, the project wants to measure the impact of the pandemic on the rule of law, democratic values and fundamental human rights, with a focus on the rights of the citizens of each state.
The project is funded by CERV “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values” European programme that seeks to support and develop open, democratic, equal and inclusive societies based on human rights and the rule of law.
