Do you wish your students to consider equal pay for men and women, uncover blind spots or develop specific measures designed to improve pay equality? Compose a workshop on equal wage.
You can combine a variety of elements to suit the particular topic, target group, and aim of your workshop. The workshop's total length will be displayed.
You can change the order by dragging the elements of the workshop to the appropriate location. You can remove elements by moving them into the "Additional elements" box. You can add additional elements by moving them from "Additional elements" to "Your workshop".
We can develop and present your workshop in cooperation with you. Carrying out and costs: information on request. Please contact us.

Explain and clarify the objectives of the workshop
We recommend that students do the quiz and the survey in advance. In addition, they should read the background information about equal pay.
You can also integrate these items into your workshop, in which case it is helpful if all participants have access to a computer.

Identify and record existing knowledge about the subject, any known solutions, and possibly any reservations or opposition. These posters can be referred back to in the course of the workshop.
Gathering participants' existing knowledge in order to be open to new input
Group or individual posters
Create posters and hang them somewhere visible in the space

You just met Priscilla Tripodi, an employee at the Buechberg Senior Centre, in the video. Before she became pregnant, she was an active nurse and also responsible for training. After her maternity leave, she wants to work part-time (40 %) and only continue the leadership role as training manager with an appropriate salary.
Role play a conversation between Ms Tripodi and the nursing supervisor Renata Lisser, also seen in the video, in the following three variants :
Outcome 1 : Ms Lisser gives in entirely to the wishes and wage demands of Ms Tripodi ;
Outcome 2 : Ms Lisser points out the difficulties that Ms Tripodi's demands are causing and suggests a compromise ;
Outcome 3 : Ms Lisser refuses to consider Ms Tripodi's wishes and demands, and demotes her to care specialist with a corresponding drop in pay.
Then discuss in the whole group how the two roles felt in each of the variants and which variant would be most likely to occur in the real world.
Using examples from the video, role play a situation that could occur and thus uncover any blind spots you may have
All do the role play in groups of two ; two students do the role-play while the others watch. Then discuss in the whole group how the two roles felt in each of the variants.
The video clip is the basis and starting point of the workshop.
Projector, sound system, laptop, video clip, name tags for the role play

At the beginning of the video clip, you were introduced to social researcher Lucia M. Lanfranconi. As part of her research, she has found that equal pay is often not addressed in voluntary, in-house projects because any wage increases are not an attractive option for the company. What options are there to address the problem of wage inequality between men and women on a broader, even national level ? (For example, wage controls in companies with sanctions for non-compliance ?) Set up a panel dis-cussion with the following roles :
Then discuss in the whole group how the two roles felt in each of the variants.
Put yourself in different positions in order to become aware of difficulties that might arise when implementing the measures
Possibly nameplates for the role play
Students can be asked to research current real-world position papers and opinions reflecting their assigned positions in advance

Step 1 :
Word associations : participants each have 30 sec. to write down on individual post-it notes as many words as possible that they associate with a phrase suggested by the facilitator (random words such as spring, solidarity, or having to do with the focus of the workshop). Quantity over quality here ! The post-its are collected after each round and then hung on an "inspiration board" poster.
Step 2 :
This is where the actual tour of the three posts begins. Participants have 5 minutes at each post and then move on until they have visited them all. The objective is to develop as many new and creative measures to improve pay equity in a company as possible.
Inspiration board : The post-it notes generated in step 1 can be rearranged or added to.
Random input : On the basis of random objects presented to them, participants write or draw associations related to the focus of the workshop.
Idea map : This is a brainstorming session in which the idea is passed around a circle, with each new participant providing new concepts, references and links.
Step 3 :
Inspired by the material from the tour and the elements on the poster from the beginning of the workshop, participants come up with 3-4 ideas for achieving greater pay equity within a company. This is done in pairs selected by the facilitators. Duration : 20 minutes.
Step 4 :
The pairs present their results in brief. Then the participants are given 5 glue dots each with which they can individually evaluate the ideas ; all of their points can be awarded to a single idea or split among the ideas as they wish.
Step 5 :
The pairs then decide on 2-3 of the most popular ideas and use them to develop concrete solutions or measures. Duration : 20 minutes.
Generate as many associations and ideas as possible in the opening phase, and then reduce them and make them more precise
Step 1 : Inspiration in a relaxed mood
Step 2 : Generate new associations for the workshop focus
Step 3 : Develop ideas from (combinations of) associations
Step 4 : Evaluate ideas
Step 5 : Take these ideas and develop them into concrete solutions/measures
For more information about these and other creative methods, see http://becreate.ch/.
Step 2 :
Depending on the number of students and available time, the tour can be done individually or in groups of 2.
