The main purpose of the Nordic Network Meeting on Gender Equality 

in the Labour Market was to gather together representatives from the Nordic countries from various projects funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. These project implementers took part in a two-day seminar in order to expand their networks and to discuss their projects and experiences. The leading theme of this seminar was gender equality in the labour market and Nordic cooperation.

At this seminar each group presented their own projects, on the topic of "Gender equality in working life".

Leena Lukala and Margrete Vaage represented NBNP at the seminar and presented NBNP`s latest project Woman in Police- changes and challenges.
 
The seminar not only shed some light on important gender issues, but also awoke conversation on how these issues may be addressed, and how they already have. It is this kind of sharing of experiences and ideas and practices that allows for solutions to be found.
