The Global Labour University
is currently accepting applications to its 'Engage'
programme on Labour Policies and Globalisation.
Trade Unionists are invited to apply by November
30, 2011.
The Engage programme is a policy oriented course
that combines academic learning with practical trade
union work. The course consists of two components:
the first part is an academic training programme
that takes place over 3,5 months and is taught at
the Berlin School of Economics and Law and the University
of Kassel. The academic programme is then followed
by two months of field work during which participants
develop a policy project/campaign with a national
or international trade union organisation.
The 2012 course has two thematic
priorities:
-
The role of
multinational companies in the global economy,
and trade union strategies and campaigns of cross
border solidarity and networking. This theme is
implemented in cooperation with Global Union Federations.
-
Global income
security through minimum wages and social transfers.
This theme is implemented in cooperation with
the ITUC and the ILO.
