Women and rights: Beyond 8 March – Film screening & discussion

Achieving gender equality requires sustained commitment, courageous policy choices and profound cultural transformation – which often happens through moments of collective reflection. For this reason, to mark 8 March we are organising a special evening dedicated to cinema and dialogue, exploring together the cultural dynamics that still shape how we talk about consent, responsibility and justice. We wait for you on 13 March at 6.30 pm at EPYC.

Red Flags and boundaries: understanding online sexism – from everyday violence to criminal acts

Online sexism isn’t just about explicit insults or hate speech. It often appears through seemingly “harmless” acts: jokes, comments, images or interactions that reinforce stereotypes and normalize gender-based violence. But where is the line between inappropriate behaviour and digital violence? And what are the warning signs – the red flags – we should all learn to recognize? Let's talk about it with the expert Debora Barletta on 30 October at 4 pm live on Facebook and YouTube.

The National Community of Practice is launched as part of the European WISER project – online event

CoPs are spaces for multi-stakeholder discussion and collaboration, designed to stimulate dialogue between public bodies, third sector organisations, experts and entrepreneurs, with the aim of co-constructing more accessible, inclusive and sustainable local ecosystems. In this context, the two Italian partners in the project – Programma integra (Rome) and CESIE ETS (Palermo) – are promoting the creation of the Italian CoP through two online meetings, aimed at enhancing and networking the experiences developed in their respective territories.
