Men in Care (MiC) was a project of twelve national organisations from seven different European countries, which sought to reduce barriers for men who want to become involved in caring activities. MiC aimed to improve workplace conditions to promote men taking caring roles and assessed how policies and workplace cultures can change to enable men to become more active in caring for children, elderly, partners, co-workers and friends. Involving workers, trade unions, employers, and families, the project enabled men to take time to care for themselves and others.
Key outcomes of the Men in Care project included the development of comprehensive guidelines and best practice toolkits aimed at organizations to foster more inclusive workplace cultures. The project also facilitated a series of training sessions and workshops, empowering male employees with the skills and confidence to embrace caregiving responsibilities without fear of professional repercussions. Furthermore, the project raised awareness about the importance of shared caregiving duties and contributing to a more equitable distribution of domestic responsibilities.
