What is Men in Care?

Men in Care (MiC) was a project of twelve national organisations from seven different European countries, which will help reduce barriers for men who want to become involved in caring activities. MiC aims to improve workplace conditions to promote men taking caring roles and will assess how policies and workplace cultures can change to enable men to become more active in caring for children, elderly, partners, co-workers and friends. Involving workers, trade unions, employers, and families, the project will enable men to take time to care for themselves and others. Find more information on the project here.

"All you need to know about men in care but you were afraid to ask" - was the title of the conversation with Ewa Krzaklewska PhD from Jagiellonian University during "D&I Changemakers Festival 2020" organized by Diversity Hub in December.

The online edition of the conference was very successful - more than 1000 people from 64 countries attended and many of them had the opportunity to hear about the "Men in Care" project.
