Contemporary challenges in caregiving: Demographic and political dynamics
Platform for Social Dialogue: Rights, Violence and Gender Equality
University of Havana, Cuba
25, 26 and 27 for April
The Forum " Contemporary Challenges to Care: Demographic and Political Dynamics" is part of the Platform for Social Dialogue "Rights, Violence and Gender Equality," which CLACSO is promoting for the coming years.
The objective of this proposal is to produce evidence-based, critical, and contextualized knowledge with a significant impact on policymaking, public opinion formation, and the positive transformation of living conditions for the most vulnerable populations. Specifically, this Forum aims to exchange, discuss, disseminate knowledge, and influence care policies in Latin America and the Caribbean. It will be a multi-stakeholder space for the open and dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences related to care, approached from diverse perspectives.
The three-day Forum will feature a wide range of activities, including the International Postgraduate School on Care with a Gender Perspective, training workshops, audiovisual presentations, and panel discussions. These discussions are designed as spaces for exchange and conversation, where key themes will be presented to stimulate debate on the Forum's central topic among a diverse group of participants, including researchers, policymakers, and members of social organizations.
On Tuesday, April 25, the International Postgraduate School in Care with a Gender Perspective began , and the training workshops were held with a large turnout at the University of Havana.
