The Gender Equality Studies and Training Programme (GEST) promotes gender equality and social justice in low income countries, conflict and post-conflict societies, through research, training, and education at a postgraduate level. Its main target group is professionals working for government and civil society organisations in low income countries and post-conflict societies undergoing reconstruction. GEST is part of GRÓ, the Centre for Capacity Development, Sustainability and Societal Change. We operate under the auspices of UNESCO, aligning our fields of specialisation in teaching and research and contributing to the implementation of UNESCO's strategic programme objectives. Every week we speak to one of our many students about their lives, aspirations or what they‘re up to in Iceland. Or we speak to one of the many international experts, who contribute to our programme.
