November 18-20, 2009: Training Seminar for NMS Trade Union Organisations, Brussels

The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) – Development Cooperation and Education Department – is organising the following event: ‘Training Seminar for New Member States (NMS) Trade Union Organisations on External Assistance Instruments of the EU’, which will take place in Brussels on 18-19-20 November 2009.

This seminar is organised within the scope of ITUC project ‘Towards an International Trade Union Development Cooperation Network’ DCI-NSA/2008/155-361, supported by the European Commission. The project foresees specific consideration to NMS Trade Unions Organisations, which have different experience and background in international cooperation in comparison to those ones from Old EU Member States (OMS). Therefore, the objective of our initiative will be aimed at granting ad hoc support to NMS Organisations both on operational and political terms.

The first activity is this seminar, which is aimed at making Trade Union Organisations in NMS acquainted on EU policies and programs for international cooperation. Participation will be open also to Trade Union Organisations from OMS willing to strengthen partnership with NMS in the fields concerned, and also to NGOs from NMS, willing to share their experience in international cooperation. Indeed, the intervention of speakers from NGOs is foreseen.
