One of the goals of the AeroSTREAM project is to put emphasis on the development of the Gender Equality Plan for all wHEIs that are AeroSTEAM partners. On the same topic, AeroSTREAM has organized a workshop on the 8th of December 2022 with the University Gender Resource Center (UNIGeRC) and UNSA Gender Equality Council at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Sarajevo for students, teaching assistants, and professors. The main topic of the workshop was "Understanding Masculinity: How to Develop Gender Responsibility?" and was led by Nikola Vučić, a journalist and a researcher in the field of gender inequality. This workshop aimed to review and critically analyze the overall concept of masculinity, especially in a society with patriarchal values, when advocating and achieving gender equality in the academic community and society. More than 20 participants got an insight into the definitions of masculinity and theoretical analysis of dominant patterns of masculinity determined by the social and cultural context.
