During the first cycle Open Studios sessions, researchers and civil society stakeholders have assessed a set of pilot project concepts as potentially effective to reduce gender+ inequalities due to the Covid pandemic in specific domains. At the end of the process, three concepts were identified.

The following are the three connected open calls launched under the first cycle:

EMPLOYERS WHO CARE
RESISTIRÉ will support projects contributing to the positive transformation of the homecare sector and the working conditions of domestic workers by mobilising “committed” employers as key actors of change and allies of domestic workers.

GREEN SPACES AS AN ECOSYSTEM OF CARE
RESISTIRÉ will support one to two pilot projects transforming green spaces into an ‘Ecosystem of Care’ through the development and implementation of programmes that make all users, and in particular vulnerable groups, feel welcome and able to access green spaces.

CARING WORKSPACES
To alleviate inequalities caused by COVID-19, RESISTIRÉ will support pilot projects co-creating caring workspaces promoting inclusiveness, diversity, safety, and care for employees at all levels, also responding to the new challenges posed by the pandemic and the increase in teleworking.

The project calls on expert civil society organisations in European Member States + UK, Serbia, Iceland, and Turkey, to participate in reducing the impact of Covid on inequalities by suggesting a project that can really make a difference.
