European Trade Union Committee for Education

Trade unions in Europe are continuously pushing for further achievements on gender equality in working life. What can be done to strengthen this progress and what are the benefits of gender mainstreaming? The training seminar will look into these questions and compare national experience on gender perspectives in trade unions. In plenary discussions and working groups, topics such as the impact of the economic crisis on gender mainstreaming at the workplace will be addressed.

The event takes place from 18 to 21 May 2015 in Madrid and trade unionists in charge of either education and training, gender and/or trade union action can sign up for the event until 9 April 2015.

The event will be held in English, French and Spanish.  The programme and the invitation are available here.
