Nordic conference on men, masculinities and gender equality
SAS Radisson Hotel Scandinavia, Oslo, Tuesday 6. February 2007, 9.30 am – 15.30
pm
Nordic Council of Ministers and Ministry of Children and Equality are inviting
Nordic politicians and other decision makers from state level and municipalities,
and from working life organisations, to attend this conference.
The aim of the conference is:
1. A sum up of five years of Nordic cooperation on men, masculinities and
gender equality
2. To discuss what now, looking forward, sending recommendations to Nordic
governments, municipalities and working life about what male policy ought to be
in the years to come.
Participants at the conference will in advance get a preliminary bulletin which
will be built upon the conclusions and the suggestions of the speakers, and on
the experiences from the Nordic work the last years. The bulletin will be
concluded during the last part of the conference, striving to reach agreement so
that the bulletin can be spread to all actual levels in the Nordic countries.
The numbers of participants are limited to 100 persons. Men are especially
called on. Those who need accommodations from the night before conference will
be paid for, staying at the hotel Scandinavia – that is if you can not reach the
conference by travelling the same morning. The conference is free of charge, but
travelling costs has to be paid for by the participants.
Time allowed for entries will be 01. December 2006, and the first 100 may
attend, although we want to secure that at least 10 from each country will be
present, 5 from autonomous territories.
