Free workshops to build respectful, equal relationships

Three workshops facilitated by Women's Health In the South East (WHISE) discussing and promoting gender equity.

Learn skills to navigate everyday conversations, handle tricky topics and strengthen your relationships.

Running from 12 to 26 March, these workshops explore how gender ideas shape our daily interactions, how unconscious bias works, and how small changes in how we talk and listen can create more inclusive spaces.

Led by expert facilitators from Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE), each workshop offers a supportive space to ask questions and build confidence.

What we’ll cover

The workshops will explore:

• how gender norms influence everyday interactions
