Its work includes developing knowledge resources such as guides, films, reports and teaching materials; running e-learning courses and training for public-sector staff, municipalities and councils; and managing projects on gender, equality, diversity, racism, digital violence, stalking, disability rights and the rights of national minorities and Indigenous peoples. KUN also established and runs the Likestillingssenteret på Vestlandet, commissioned by the Ministry of Culture and Equality in 2024, which serves Rogaland, Vestland and Møre og Romsdal.
