With the support of the Creative Europe of the European Union, the ACE released the ‘A\/B\/C: Gender balance, diversity and inclusion in architecture’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As European architects we are committed to promoting the value of a gender equity and diverse profession to build inclusive workplaces for future generations. The A\/B\/C handbook is a toolkit specifically designed for and with the architecture profession to promote gender equality, diversity, equity and inclusion at work. It provides the knowledge and the guidance on how to effectively promote the transformational journey to more inclusive and responsible organisations and work practices”<\/em> stated Ruth Schagemann, ACE President.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a call to action, a handbook, a manifesto, a practical tool for change, a voice, a commitment, a timely guide, a timeless demand, a reminder to keep learning, a conversation and a distillation of a grander narrative.   <\/strong> 

“Now that you have the A\/B\/C guide to gender balance, diversity and inclusion in architecture in your hands, you can get started right away<\/em>.” urged Ursula Faix, Chair of the ACE \u2018Women in Architecture\u2019 task-force. “In the ‘Actions’ section, the most important measures are listed, whatever the size of your organisation. In the ‘Benefits’ section, you\u2019ll see that it really does pay to take action on gender balance, diversity and inclusion in your business. If you\u2019re not an activist, you\u2019ll get your ideas from offices that have already committed to gender balance, diversity and inclusion measures. You can read the interviews and see how the culture of an office changes everything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A\/B\/C is available in English<\/a>, Slovenian<\/a>, German<\/a>, and Romanian.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
