Le développement du monde

#InspireInclusion, the guiding theme for this year’s #InternationalWomensDay, tasks us to focus on how we can drive greater inclusion for women in industries like Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics where they’re historically underrepresented. When we understand and value women's inclusion — and inspire those around us to do the same — we forge a better world.   Through many initiatives across Canada, Thales demonstrates its commitment to fostering inclusion in our workplaces. For example, in partnership with L3 Technologies Canada, Babcock Canada Inc., General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada and CAE Canada, in 2019 Thales launched the Canadian Industrial Leadership Award, which offers financial support, mentorship & employment opportunities for women in the aerospace, maritime, defence and security industries. In addition, we’re long-term supporters of Women in Defence and Security (WiDS), which recognizes and supports female excellence in Canadian defence. Thales also provides mentorship through Technovation – an entrepreneurship competition meant to inspire young girls pursuing #STEM education.   Here’s to making continued, collective efforts to build a more inclusive tomorrow. #IWD2024

21 mai - Journée mondiale de la diversité culturelle pour le dialogue et le développement Une journée qui célèbrernon seulement la richesse des cultures du monde, mais aussi le rôle essentiel du dialogue interculturel pour la paix et le développement durable. Selon l'UNESCO: 🔸89 % de tous les conflits actuels ont lieu dans des pays où le dialogue interculturel est faible. Pour forger une coopération efficace et maintenir la paix, le renforcement du dialogue interculturel doit être une priorité. 🔸Le secteur culturel et créatif constitue l’un des moteurs de développement les plus puissants au monde: - Il représente plus de 48 millions d’emplois à l’échelle globale - dont près de la moitié sont occupés par des femmes - soit 6,2 % de tous les emplois existants et 3,1 % du PIB mondial. - C’est également le secteur qui emploie et offre des opportunités au plus grand nombre de jeunes de moins de 30 ans. 🔸Cependant, le secteur culturel et créatif n'a toujours pas la place qu'il mérite dans les politiques publiques et la coopération internationale.

🗣 Next up in our #IWD2024 series, we spoke with Marina Nilsson Rahel, Front of House Manager at Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) and Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and Vania Lampitt, Passenger Services Manager at London Luton Airport (LTN). Two inspirational women, who have been with Menzies for almost 15 years each. 👏 When asked about Menzies’ ambitious plans to improve gender diversity, including 25% of women in senior leadership roles by 2025, Marina believes “Menzies is demonstrating why gender diversity is key”. She also says that the company’s focus on allyship is bringing about positive change: “I have had great support from several male colleagues and mentors - words of encouragement, a second opinion or new career opportunities.”  ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress’ is not only the theme of #IWD2024, but it also encapsulates our Women in Leadership Programme, which both Marina and Vania have completed. Reflecting on her experience, Vania comments: “I loved every single minute of it. It offered valuable leadership training, skill development and great networking opportunities. It was also inspiring to complete this programme with such senior female role models.” 💪 Vania believes raising awareness and improving representation is key to attract more women to aviation. “The industry should focus on creating more awareness of aviation careers at an early educational level, perhaps offering apprenticeships to young women and actively promoting success stories of female leaders in aviation,” she explained. Marina’s advice to women considering a career in aviation: “Trust your ability and go for it! And don’t forget, obstacles can be hidden opportunities."

Les médiateurs de connaissances sont des acteurs intermédiaires qui mettent en relation différents détenteurs de connaissances et différents détenteurs de pouvoir dans la société - ils négocient des relations, ils mettent en relation des personnes qui traditionnellement, ne travailleraient pas ensemble, ils instaurent la confiance et incitent à l'action.   Mais quel est le rôle des organisations intermédiaires dans l’adaptation menée localement? Quelles questions les organisations se posent-elles et quels choix font-elles pour soutenir le leadership local et faire parvenir le financement à l'échelle le plus bas possible? Comment les organisations peuvent-elles jouer le rôle d’intermédiaire de manière légitime et responsabilisante? Inscrivez-vous ici: https://lnkd.in/gQNsAyYb et joignez-vous à Nicholas Ozor, Susan Nanduddu, Dr. Joanes Atela et Guy Rudolph pour une exploration de ces questions et de bien d’autres le 1er août.
