Training for companies

Change through understanding: training pathways for a new culture

Culture is the core of our commitment to companies.

discover our courses

To prevent gender-based violence and build inclusive workplaces, a profound cultural change is needed, and awareness is the first step towards it.

We offer an extensive catalogue of training and awareness initiatives designed to engage individuals, teams and leadership on key issues that include gender equality and inclusion, stereotypes and unconscious bias, respectful language and communication, the prevention of harassment, and a culture of consent and care.

No two organisations are the same, so we design customised training pathways, developed together with companies and based on their specific needs, sector, level of awareness, and cultural goals.

We start with a context analysis (using surveys, focus groups, interviews) and work with internal departments and figures to come up with just the right mix of content, tools and communication approaches.

Although formats, methods and topics covered may differ, the goal is always the same: to initiate reflection, change perspectives and encourage more equitable and responsible behaviours.

Courses designed with our partners

From the encounter between the specialized skills of our partners and the gender perspective that characterizes the Libellula Foundation, authoritative, current training programs are born, capable of generating concrete change in people and organizations.

People Talking About Men

What do we really know about how men experience gender dynamics? What do they think, what questions do they have, and what changes would they like to see from their perspective?

We have created a discussion group to do the kind of work we don’t usually engage in: talking about men, in order to understand them better, moving beyond stereotypes, and to find ways we can evolve together.

Focus Group
Workshop
What About Men? Gender Equality from a Male Perspective

When discussing gender issues, both in the workplace and outside it, it often feels like the focus is always on women. But what about men? There is a lot to be said about men and their role in achieving gender equality.

Workshop
What's Your Privilege?

In a world shaped by discrimination, in which equal opportunities are not guaranteed for everyone, rights can become privileges.

The “wheel of power” – a tool that encourages us to reflect on our multiple identities – will allow us to explore our own privilege, and see how we can use that privilege to drive change.

During the webinar, we will examine the key dimensions of intersectionality, challenge ourselves to observe from the margins, and explore how to build meaningful alliances between people.

Power walk
