From May 7 to 18, the “More Equality” Festival will take place on the campuses of the University of Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) and at partner venues. Taking the time to ask questions, embracing debate, imagining solutions, but above all reflecting and discussing together on issues of equality—that is the goal of the various events at this festival. USMB offers conferences, roundtables, and meetings with artists and experts who will challenge our perceptions of the relationship between women and men.
On Friday, March 15, 2019, in Lecture Hall C002 at Polytech Annecy-Chambéry on the Bourget-du-Lac campus, a roundtable discussion titled “Are Women Politicians Like Any Others?” will take place .
Motivations, added value, challenges, methods, difficulties… Profiles and testimonials from local elected officials. They will share their daily experiences as women involved in politics—a true school of leadership, negotiation, diplomacy, and responsibility. With confirmed appearances by:
