More than 100 participants attended yesterday’s International Scientific Conference called The impact of COVID-19 crisis on diverse democratic perspectives through a gender lens. The online event is a part of the HEARD Project implementation.
Nearly 20 speakers shared their research related to democracy, human rights and work and life balance of women affected by COVID-19 pandemic. The conference served as a platform to researchers from Slovenia, Bulgaria, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, France and Cyprus. They shared valuable insights on the negative consequences brought by the pandemic in a national context and addressed important questions to be further researched. The panelists were also engaged in impactful Q&A sessions. The results presented during the conference are expected to serve as a basis for creating policy recommendations aiming to help the navigating of future crises.
During the event Bulgaria was represented by Ms. Zornitza Draganova (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), Ms. Milena Velikova (“Angel Kanchev” – University of Ruse) and Ms. Lyuboslava Kostova (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences). We are deeply thankful for their contribution and impressive research. The conference was hosted by Fakulteta za organizacijske študije v Novem mestu and moderated by Ms. Maja Pucelj.
