women@ workshops

women@hs-fulda (german: frauen@-Reihe) is an ongoing workshop series designed to support female students in their personal development and to help them shape their professional profiles. The series provides valuable information on topics such as career start and job applications, self-confidence or life-work-balance.

Gender and diversity sensitivity in communication
