2022-09-06 02:40
The project aims to promote training sessions, exchange of experiences and good practices on how young trade unionists, coming from different countries and cultures, see the participation of young people in the priorities and activities of European social dialogue and in particular the trade union engagement of young people as a form of participation in EU policy-making
The project aims to address the needs of investing in young trade unions representatives by establishing a Workers Exchange Platform (WEP) that will deliver training, shadowing and networking sessions. The target group are 15 young CESI workers’ representatives who are very active in their country, aged between 18 and 35 years old and coming from different Member States of the European Union and neighbouring countries. They work in different sectors but they are mainly employees of the public services.
The impact on the participants will strengthen the entire network of young worker’s representatives providing with a solid understanding of the European legislative process, the European pillar of social rights’ action plan, priorities and activities of the European social dialogue, the European Semester, the work programmes of the EU cross-industry and sectoral social dialogue committees, youth engagement strategies, capacity building and communication tools.
The Workers Exchange Platform intends to deliver five training and information sessions:
- 1st WEP training and exchange with CESI General Secretariat on EU legislative processes, EU Social dialogue and EPSR Action Plan
- 2nd WEP training and exchange meeting on the European Semester, national social dialogues and collective bargaining
- 3rd WEP training and exchange meeting on youth engagement, capacity building and communication
- 4th WEP training, exchange and shadowing at the national Trade Unions
- 5th WEP training and exchange meeting from WEP to senior TU managers
