ORIENTATION COURSE TO GENDER ISSUES IN INDIA

Contextualised, inclusive, and creative approaches are needed to build resilient organisations in a time of rapid change, where all genders thrive. The Swedish Chamber of Commerce India offers this course on Gender in India for those working or who wish to work cross-border and in settings with diverse cultures.

This course examines traditional and prevalent world views, considers systemic and global trends and their effects on family and workplace dynamics.

Global and region-specific trends in the form of traditional vs modern vs post modernism intertwined with patriarchy and technocracy, power narratives, biases, stereotypes and antisocial behaviours will be examined, amongst other subjects.

The course will be interactive with open discussions. Participants will also be given short assignments, and material/references for further reflection.

 

You will learn:

  • To understand the interplay between community, family, and professional life in context of gender in India primarily

  • A broader view of gender issues in a global and regional context

  • To decipher systemic and individual aspects of gender discrimination in organisation and society

  • How to seek new and contextualised solutions to existing situations

  • How to effectively translate global policies to local context for diversity and inclusion
