‘How to deal with resistances to gender+ training?’
From an institutional point of view, resistance aim at maintaining the status quo and preventing change. It may be integral to the gender+ training context, through the denial of the relevance of the gender+ equality policies, the refusal to accept responsibility for dealing with gender+ equality policies or simply through non-implementation. From an individual point of view, it stems primarily from the fact that trainers are questioning the beliefs, paradigms and social position of (some of) the trainees. Resistances can then take different forms, from the mere negation of its existence to the dismissal of its changeability and the rejection of ones’ own ability to contribute to change.
However, the location of possible resistances at different levels (cognitive, emotional, and intentional – in the form of (in)action and routines – levels) make especially difficult to deal with resistances through a stable and narrowly defined set of instruments. This makes a forum especially useful to share about a great variety of possible resistances faced by gender+ trainers.
Learning Objectives:
To identify different types of resistances which appear in gender+ training experiences / to understand how they should be included in the curriculum and how they can be overcome and be converted into learning results / to assess different types of resistances / to debate on a possible ‘list’ of reactions to resistances.
