V okviru projekta Erasmus+ GEAR (Gender Equality in Academia and Research) so se predstavniki konzorcija od 2. do 4. aprila 2025 udeležili študijskega obiska na Univerzi v Tuzli. Obisk je bil posvečen razvoju podpornih sistemov na visokošolskih ustanovah, ki upoštevajo vidik spola, s posebnim poudarkom na spremljanju akademskih in poklicnih karier, spodbujanju kritičnega razmišljanja, opolnomočenju študentk in spodbujanju usklajevanja poklicnega in zasebnega življenja s pomočjo institucionalnih orodij. Med tridnevnim dogodkom je bilo organiziranih več ključnih delavnic.
Prvi dan so se v okviru koordinacije Univerze v Mariboru odvijale: 3. delavnica o uvajanju spolno občutljivega sledenja akademskih karier študentov in sledenja poklicnih karier diplomantov, 2. delavnica o razvoju orodij za kritično mišljenje in opolnomočenje spolov ter MOOC za študente in 1. delavnica o razvoju in izvajanju programa poslovnega mentorstva za dekleta.
Drugi dan sta ob koordinaciji Univerze v Vilni in močni podpori univerze gostiteljice iz Tuzle potekali 3. delavnica o razvoju univerzitetnih orodij za enakost spolov in usklajevanje poklicnega in družinskega življenja z instrumenti M&E (vključno z analizo oddelčnih okvirov) ter 3. delavnica o razvoju GEP/izmenjave ter reviziji rezultatov in vprašanj izvajanja.
Obisk se je zaključil z obiskom kluba „Girls in Science“ v Tuzli, kar je še dodatno okrepilo skupno zavezo konzorcija k enakosti spolov v izobraževanju in raziskavah.
Ta študijski obisk je bil za partnerje pomembna priložnost za izmenjavo izkušenj, krepitev sodelovanja in oblikovanje trajnostnih okvirov za vključevanje načel enakosti spolov v akademske ustanove. Znanje in orodja, razvita na teh delavnicah, bodo imela ključno vlogo pri oblikovanju bolj vključujočih, raznolikih in podpornih okolij za prihodnje generacije študentov in raziskovalcev.
