Acknowledgements

Some of the material used to produce this course has been inspired by the 8-week The Open University course Succeed in the Workplace (https://www.open.edu/ openlearn/ education-development/ succeed-the-workplace/ content-section-overview?active-tab=description-tab [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] ) and the Career Planning and Job-Seeking Workbook, produced by The Open University Careers Service.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the production of this course. Particular thanks go to the women who gave up their time to participate in the filming, and to staff from the following organisations who, in difficult Covid-restricted circumstances, alongside the demands of their day jobs and with only remote support, turned into film-makers over the five months of the project and delivered the footage for the course:

Real Futures in Australia

MINPROFF in Cameroon

INFOCAP in Chile

PRADAN in India

AWO and ANHRE in Jordan

Cemex, ProSociedad and ProMéxico in Mexico.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of Servicios Creativos CVA Limitada in the production of the videos in Chile. Thanks also to staff in the UN Women country offices in Australia, Cameroon, Chile, India, Jordan and Mexico for their input and support, and to the SCE global team in UN Women Geneva.

We also acknowledge the commitment and expertise of the Cobra Collective’s participatory video facilitators, Claudia Nuzzo and Luca Rea, who contributed so much more to this project than the videos alone.
