Assembly 2013 Synergy Wallonia for Equality of Women and Men


The Association « Synergie Wallonie pour l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes » (Synergy Wallonia for equality of women and men) organizes each year an Assembly to gather associations, municipal agents and other relevant stakeholders to discuss issues related to equality of women and men.

 

This year’s assembly will bring up the topic of “Temporal policies supporting reconciliation of professional and personal life” and will take place in Namur in Belgium on the 29th of October. The meeting will give an opportunity for participants to get to know more about the concept of temporal policies and to discuss how such a policy could be implemented in municipalities. It will provide time for discussion and aims to enrich the thinking of professionals working in the field of “time” and bring together different experiences from municipalities and towns in order to encourage new approaches.

 

The concept note of the meeting underlines the important role of local authorities and politicians as the governing body on the closest level of citizens. As the ones defining the priorities and the specific projects in municipalities; they must be attentive to the needs and interest of the population. In all areas of municipal competencies such as education, urban planning, social welfare, culture, health, youth, safety etc. it is important to take into consideration the specific needs and interests of women and men. Studying “temporal approaches” of a territory means paying attention to the daily lives of citizens. In this context, time policies are a useful tool.
