Reinforcing the European trade union education community will be top of the agenda for a major conference due to be held in Kiljava, Finland, in February 2008.
Organised by the Education department of the ETUI-REHS the conference, entitled “European trade union education – the next steps”, will examine how this progress can be achieved in practical terms.
The conference, designed for the heads of education departments from trade union organisations affiliated to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and for trainers linked to those organisations, will examine the latest developments in national and European trade union education and their current impact. It will go on to assess how national organisations can best be supported, including through the new Pan-European Regional Council, within the context of the ETUC strategy for 2007 - 2011.
