The Nora Gender Information Centre presents on its YouTube channel a new series of short videos focusing on key gender equality issues. These videos provide valuable information not only for academics and researchers, but also for the general public.
The debate on gender equality in academia is gaining momentum. If you feel that you do not know all the background and challenges that come with it, we recommend watching a series of short informative videos. These videos have recently been published by the Nora Gender Information Centre on their YouTube channel.
These videos will give you a concise and easy-to-understand overview of gender bias against women and introduce concepts such as equal opportunity, gender, discriminatory behaviour and sexual harassment in an academic setting. They will offer practical advice on how to respond to sexual harassment and how to use gender-balanced language. Special attention is given to the gender dimension in research and economic violence in the context of work-life balance. Each video is 2-3 minutes long and there are 10 videos in total. Through these videos you will gain a deeper understanding of gender inequality and can contribute to creating a safe and respectful environment for all.
10 October marks World Mental Health Day. On this day, the MU Counselling Centre has prepared a Wellbeing day conference for MU students, which will offer an opportunity to learn more about the importance of mental health and ways to take care of your mental well-being and build mental resilience.
Masaryk University and Charles University have created an e-course on social safety in the academic environment, including examples of appropriate behaviour, types of inappropriate behaviour and test questions.
