Gender Shift

Gender shift is a global phenomenon in which both gender roles and the LGBTQIA+ community are expanding. Western society is moving away from typical role models. Diversity is the “new normal” and achieves immediate social relevance. There is a break within traditional family constructs. A different division of men and women in which both should be equal and in which completely new forms of families appear. Gender awareness is of great importance to protect minorities. This sensitization challenges each person to think beyond gender identity. This topic of course raises new conflicts. These want to be covered in this course. Education systems, including those outside of Western society, as well as labor market participation and equality, play a central role; that we want to take on. We would like to create an open space for discussion and further training on this topic.
