Publications & mainstreaming (gender, diversity, …)
Internal practice
Duration
The past, present and ongoing.
Reason it was developed
Create publications of the trade union which are representative for the diverse society.
Activities
In every publication of the trade union (member magazine, social media, website, …) we try to find a balance in gender and diversity and not be stereotype for pictures, articles, persons we interview, the language we use. Every year we evaluate this.
Results
We have interesting publications and get positive response from members and education stakeholders.
