Many young JKU parents recounted their personal experiences and challenges, discussing the psychological effects as well as social impact of the pandemic. These will most certainly be a part of our lives during the upcoming months and years. After the discussion, many of the participants, some with their kids in tow, talked with other parents and JKU representatives to learn more about paternity leave, legal issues, returning to work after maternity leave, childcare, and the works council.

The team for Human Resources Development, Gender & Diversity Management would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took part and for the presentations that helped to make this event possible, particularly during these challenging times.
