About us: Camilla Simonsson has, besides running her own business, been an MD in trade and industry. She has also been employed by the municipality, as well as been politically active in the municipality at a local and regional level. This has resulted in a broad foundation as regards public organisations’ development conditions. She has experience of project work, both within the European Objective 1 and Equal, and great experience in working for change, primarily within the area of gender equality. After her training, both via JämO and in gender theory at an academic level, she has worked with education and advisory services/guidance for workplaces and organisations that want to develop their gender equality work. After completing the local authority association’s project manager training in equality integration she worked in a countywide project with process-oriented methodology training, a pedagogy that has also been successfully used in later courses about equality plans and pay surveys. Change is a challenging process to manage, especially within the area of gender equality, as it questions our values and attitudes. Camilla therefore took a course in Managing the Change Process at Mid Sweden University in2005.
Dan Humble has previously participated
in Inlandsbanan AB’s management group and, as marketing manager, was
responsible for equality, work environment, environment, marketing and
traffic and safety. His post also involved responsibility for trade fairs
and media contacts. He has previously been engaged by the SJ school and
other units within SJ to run and produce courses. He has been an instructor
with SJ’s industrial civil defence unit and held courses on diverse
subjects. As marketing manager, he was able to appreciate the benefits of
having a gender perspective on activities, and developed the country’s first
template for equality as a criteria during procurements. He also carried out
an analysis of why the railway sector is male dominated, and came to the
conclusion that the available training does not have a gender perspective
and therefore excludes people that have to take responsibility for the home
and children, i.e. usually women, as it was scheduled as a residential
course, for example. After a shorter post as a lecturer on the subject of
equality, he switched to working for himself on a full-time basis. He has
experience of methodology work in equality, in both private and public
organisations. He has also worked with process-oriented education and
guidance for companies, through Fokuz AB. Dan has 10 points in
Organisational Psychology from Mid Sweden University, and has previously
taken courses in Gender Studies, totalling 20 points. Contact information
