Virago

Brief: Students are asked to reflect on the social issues Lebanon is facing and select the one that communicates to them mostly. Students will brand an event that opens discussions around the topic. The event could be a series of talks, a series of workshops or even a series of podcasts.

Project: Gender is a social construct which asserts that the expectations, capabilities and responsibilities of men and women are not always biologically determined. In the Arab region, women face high barriers to enter the labor market and are at a higher risk of unemployment than men. VIRAGO is an event to help empower women and raise awareness on the gender gap in workplaces.
