We invite you
to move with us

With our gender and diversity expertise, we accompany organizations in the comprehensive promotion of equity.

We work for you and with you to support a cultural change towards a sustainable development of equal opportunities and inclusion.

A high degree of openness and sensitivity in dealing with current social developments characterizes our research.

The coaching and workshops offered by MOVES are based on systemic, solution- and actionoriented approaches.

What we do

Research

Our understanding of research is based on a Responsible Research and Innovation approach. This means that we focus on societal challenges and tie our activities to the highest ethical standards.

Counseling

Through a four-step process – the four Gender Mainstreaming (GeM) steps – we support you in developing and sustainably anchoring a corporate culture that appreciatively uses the potential of diverse perspectives.

Workshops

Our workshops fundamentally strengthen the ability to think and act in an equality-oriented way and promote a corporate, organizational or team culture that is characterized by equal opportunities.

Coaching

Systemic-constructivist coaching is an effective method to work on problems in a focused and solution-oriented way within a short period of time. The topics are manifold, the focus is on individual empowerment.

Gender Bias and Stereotypes

We are all exposed to gender stereotypes and gender bias, the implicit assumptions about gender that are unconsciously conveyed and guide actions. Two very powerful concepts that determine behaviors and influence decisions.

Intersectionality on the way

Gender theories are constantly moving forward, are posing themselves in relation to the major equality issues of the time, they are critiquing each other, they are building on each other, and are responding to cultural imperatives.

The most recent figures available from the European Institute for Gender Equality from 2020 show that the measures taken so far to promote women alone are not enough to initiate a cultural change towards greater equality.
