You’ve already got videos available of the presentation day events for the new Feminist Methodological Notebooks, focusing on the design and assessment of plans and programmes.

The Feminist Methodological Notebooks, FMN, present the methodologies and tools developed by Barcelona City Council within the framework of promoting gender mainstreaming in its internal running and public policies.

Two of the new notebooks have recently been presented, focusing on the incorporation of the gender perspective into various stages of the public-policy cycle: design and assessment.

So, a presentation was made on 24 May this year of FMN number 5, Incorporating the gender perspective into plans and programmes, within the framework of a day event in which Emanuela Lombardo, a PhD in Political Sciences and a lecturer at the Complutense University of Madrid, took part. There was also a presentation of the experiences of the Barcelona Interculturality Plan for 2021-2030, the Barcelona Superblock programme and the Terrassa Local Drugs-Prevention Plan. The summary video of the day event is now available, as well as the full version.

For its part, the latest FMN was presented on 13 October, number 6, Assessment of policies, plans and programmes from the gender perspective. This notebook explains the bases of what it means to assess from the gender perspective and offers guidance and resources for getting evaluations of policies, plans and programmes with the gender perspective. The day event not only included the presentation of the notebook but also talks given by Julia Espinosa Fajardo, a Doctor of Political Sciences and Sociology and a lecturer at the University of Seville, Júlia de Quintana Medina, an analyst at the Catalan Institute for Public Policy Assessments (Ivàlua) and Helena Morais Maceira, a researcher in gender mainstreaming and a team coordinator at the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE). You can check it all out in this summary video and in the full version of the video.
