The European Institute for Gender Equality aims to promote gender
equality, to fight discrimination based on sex and to raise awareness of
EU citizens of gender issues.
The "Women Inspiring Europe"
Calendar, aims to give visibility and pay homage to some of
Europe’s most remarkable women, through highlighting their achievements
and success stories. Nominations for the 2012 calendar are now welcome
from and about women active in all professional spheres, who set
positive examples for women in Europe. You can nominate yourself or
arrange to be nominated – remember to fly the Soroptimist flag!
A
nomination can be based on any of the following:
- Breaking stereotypes about women.
- Achieving visibility and recognition by way of her actions.
- Contributing to her society and to other women in particular.
All received nominations will become part of the Institute’s "Women Inspiring Europe" resource-pool,
which contains information about women from all over Europe, who can
act as role-models and as a source of inspiration for others.
The resource pool is used by EIGE and its stakeholders and partners in
search of realistic evidence of success in the form of testimonials,
expert or speaker interventions. Over time as the activity gains
momentum, the "Women of Europe" resource pool will become an integral
part of the Institute’s Resource and Documentation Centre pooling the
experience and bringing recognition to the achievements of European
women. Before publishing any information, the Institute will contact the
nominee to agree on any information to be made public.
The deadline is June 10th. For full details, visit: http://eige.europa.eu/women-inspiring-europe-submit.
