Group talk + Poetry and songwriting workshop

14h-16h: Group talk

Topic: Caregiving roles, women’s triple burden and the glass ceiling

Guest: Cleo Klapholz, poetess from Antwerp

Main questions:

• How can we act upon prejudice against women occupying public roles due to motherhood?
• Which strategies can help to reduce the glass ceiling without overwhelming women with a triple burden?
• How do we enforce propositions and laws so they can favour gender equality and women’s rights?

16h-18h: Poetry and songwriting workshop (Cleo Klapholz)

Inspired by the mind map developed in the group talk around ‘violence’, ‘body’ and ‘glass ceiling’, the participants engage in a collective writing workshop. The poems developed will be adapted as song lyrics for the year’s performance.
