Networking day for female employees of the HKA
Equality organized a networking day for all female employees for the first time at the university in the summer semester 2019 with the topic: "Networking - Creating good connections for effective collaboration".
The goal here was to be able to do one's job well and move one's organization forward with the right contacts. The point was not to exploit relationships, but to create good connections - for others, for oneself and, above all, for effective collaboration within the team and between the individual units of the university. The seminar day was conducted by business coach and author Ms. Isabel Nitzsche.
The networking day conveyed the most important strategies for professional networking:
The interest in this event was very high and the seminar was quickly booked. 18 female colleagues spent a full day on networking topics. The day was consistently perceived by all participants as profitable and positive.

Network meeting for female professors
In the meantime, it has become a real institution: the network meeting for female professors! Equality organizes the meeting once a semester. The female professors can exchange ideas and network in an informal way at these meetings. We arrange the meetings very differently and flexibly. From external impulse lectures, exchange at topic tables up to simply only beer garden or celebrations everything is present.
Self-defense courses
Since 2009, Equality has been offering assertiveness and self-defense courses with the aim of being prepared for situations in which one feels uncomfortable or even acutely endangered. Our society has changed in recent years and there are more and more attacks and assaults, which should be met with strength and self-confidence (perpetrators usually choose the seemingly weak). Initially, the course was aimed at female students. In the winter semester 2015/2016, we were able to expand the offer and provide the events for all university members. Since then, Equality has organized a multi-week course based on ESDO (European alternative to Asian martial arts) and a one-day Krav-Maga workshop for all university members each semester, and additionally a multi-week ESDO course for women only during the dark season of the winter semester. All courses regularly register a very high demand and are usually fully booked after a short time.The following contents are covered in the workshops:
As a trainer for the multi-week Esdo courses, we were able to win Ms. Sabine Ritter . In the courses, she combines theoretical information entertaining with practical exercises. The feedback from the participants confirms that the courses are fun, and many of them take part again and again. The Krav Maga courses are conducted by trainers of the Krav Maga School Karlsruhe www.km-freiburg.de. Krav Maga is easy to learn, the techniques are based on the natural instincts and reflexes of humans. We regularly receive very positive feedback from participants for these courses as well: The course had met or even exceeded expectations to the highest degree, the participants found the trainers great and the course content very well explained.
