Education

Throughout 2022 and 2023 we will particularly address inequality, here intended in its broad and multifaced terms, as we all know this will be the challenge for the coming year.

The new ETUI strategy for the next 4 years was built on the basis of an inclusive methodology where each internal and external stakeholder has taken an active role in the building process. The strategy has followed different paths of consultation and feedback to finish with an ETUI internal approval and ETUC endorsement in November 2019. The strategy was presented to the Trade Unions Education community at the EduDays held in Vienna from 28 to 29 November 2019.

The ETUI Education department offers a wide range of high-quality training on key competencies and skills to European Trade Union members. The end goal? Strengthening and expanding the labour movement.

Each year, the ETUI provides training to over 1,000 employee representatives from European Works Councils, SE Works Councils or Special Negotiating Bodies. Our mission is to impart practical know-how in order to strengthen the distinctive role of EU-level employee representatives. Our educational trademark combines an EWC benchmark (based on leading employee-oriented in-house research) with EWC action learning (interactive training formats, targeted towards improving EWC operations and functioning).

The present material serves to raise awareness on the reality of platform work among national trade union organizations. The ETUI initiative responds to the identified training needs for a common approach to development of this topic at EU level, based on proposals expressed by the ETUC’s member organizations. The ETUI’s choice of the pedagogical design of this training material reflects the different trade union education needs/approaches existing in the affiliated organizations. The proposed programs have been structured in a general concept.

This publication is a reference document on the Eurotrainers’ learning pathway and on the accreditation procedure for trainers undergoing the process of validation of their competences, prior education and learning.

This is one of the key courses organized and delivered by the ETUI education department every year.

ETUI Education offers a distinctive European Trade union training programme in a multicultural setting.

We provide high quality training on key competences, skills and knowledge to European Trade union members and officers, that is focused on strengthening and expanding the sense of belonging to a common community.

The ETUI Green Competence Framework Approach has guided the design of this decentralized course. More precisely, during this course, participants will develop their systemic, collective, and prospective competences applied to the European Green Deal.
