The Committee has promoted the implementation of training initiatives by the University aimed at students, faculty, and staff, with the goal of fostering the understanding of fundamental principles regarding equal opportunities and the protection of basic rights. These initiatives are designed to raise awareness among the aforementioned groups and provide them with practical tools for identifying discriminatory situations. The activities organised include:

• Specific modules on equal opportunities, mobbing, and diversity management, offered within internal training courses targeting specific groups (e.g., new hires, by category/area, for career progression, etc.)
• Thematic seminars open to the public
• Meetings organised with other equal opportunity bodies active in the regional area
• Working sessions on gender-related topics during scientific conferences

Language, Gender Identity, and the Italian Language (12th edition)

A free course open to all, providing a certificate and 20 hours of online training through the EduOpen platform.

Course Introduction: How do we refer to women in positions of government and leadership? Does Italian have a neuter as an unmarked gender? How does the Italian language refer to women? How does language interact with the construction of cultural identity, and in particular, gender identity? This course develops a linguistic metacompetence on the morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties of the Italian language, enabling participants to make conscious and informed language choices that respect gender equality.
