Equal-Works online debates:
the online virtual activity programme

Equal-Works hosted a series of five online debates between November 2006 and the end of the programme in December 2007. Debates were open to all: those who registered beforehand were able to post comments or questions, and participants were also able to log in and question speakers on the day via computer. Speakers responded via webcam, and participants were able to continue the discussion with other online users once the live broadcast was over. The full proceedings were transcribed and made available on the site, together with a video record of the whole discussion with the guest speaker.

 

The topics focused on some of the key issues of the programme: ethnic minorities, social economy, gender equality, older workers and the skills agenda.
