and participatory education. Co-developed with the NGO <em>Equal Workspaces<\/em>, it targeted university students, early-career professionals, and the public, focusing on the structural, cultural, and emotional dimensions of workplace discrimination.<\/p><p class=\"\">Through the DISC methodology, the students designed a workshop series (<em>Gender at Work<\/em>), developed educational tools, staged a live public simulation, and created a reflective visual installation titled <em>Invisible Labor<\/em>. The project contributed to SDGs 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and 4 (Quality Education).<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"fact-sheet-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"fact-sheet-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p><strong>Challenge<\/strong><br \/>Gender-based discrimination remains deeply embedded in Greek work culture, from wage gaps to microaggressions. Despite formal legal protections, practical awareness and institutional accountability are limited. This project aimed to make invisible workplace inequalities visible and actionable, especially for young professionals entering the labor market.<\/p><p><strong>Target Groups: <br \/><\/strong>The primary target group was young adults aged 20\u201330 in Thessaloniki, including university students, recent graduates, and early-career job seekers. Indirect beneficiaries included members of the public, HR professionals, and educators reached through the public event and visual installation.<\/p><p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br \/>The students created a workshop series, role-play materials, and a visual installation to explore and challenge workplace bias. Activities included simulations, ethical discussions, and the use of real case studies to foster empathy and dialogue. All tools were designed to be modular, bilingual, and adaptable for broader civic education.<\/p><p><strong>Innovation<br \/><\/strong>The project integrated emotional and analytical approaches to learning\u2014combining legal frameworks, ethics, role-play, and visual storytelling. The live simulation event and \u201cInvisible Labor\u201d installation created immersive spaces for reflection and dialogue, breaking the mold of traditional gender education.<\/p><p><strong>Impact<br \/><\/strong>Participants reported increased awareness and a greater willingness to challenge inequality. Students developed confidence in facilitation and advocacy. NGOs and municipal actors expressed interest in adapting the materials, and two students were invited to present the model at external events.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"project-details-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"project-details-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p>This student project is submitted through:<br \/>Aristotle University of Thessaloniki<br \/>It involved five university students and recent graduates.<\/p><p>Project poster: <a href=\"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4.-Rethinking-Power-and-Opportunity-poster.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Here<\/a><\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2135c50e\" data-id=\"2135c50e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6b12b4a1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6b12b4a1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-24f5fc65\" data-id=\"24f5fc65\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A student-led initiative on awareness of gender bias in the workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4463,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"q21pr_SDG":[],"q21_community_exp":[],"q21_sdg_student":[89,92],"class_list":["post-4166","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","q21_sdg_student-sdg5","q21_sdg_student-sdg8"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4166"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4466,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4166\/revisions\/4466"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"q21pr_SDG","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21pr_SDG?post=4166"},{"taxonomy":"q21_community_exp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21_community_exp?post=4166"},{"taxonomy":"q21_sdg_student","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21_sdg_student?post=4166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
