The training of Eurotrainers is designed to develop the individual teaching skills of trainers from members organisations, as an investment in the future of the teaching strategies of their organisations. This training aims to extend the scope of the learning programmes beyond the national level and to give them a European dimension, putting the priority on a European trade union identity. It covers many different aspects liked to multicultural and transnational environments and links them to the training design process and pedagogical methods we apply at the European level.

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

• Describe and compare trade union structures and their adult education processes within Europe;
• Develop multicultural issues in trade union education regarding the influence of cultural differences, gender, and trade union cultures in a training environment;
• Identify ETUI training teams' functions and structure;
• Put into practice different methodological approaches used in trade union training;
• Present training sessions bearing in mind the importance of the existing trade union realities and values in Europe;
• Analyse acquired training skills by using specific tools (self-assessment and portfolio) so as to lead to a validation of competences.
