In the framework of two training workshops (Rome and Copenhagen) to be organised in 2022, ETUCE member organisations have the opportunity to discuss the outcomes of the online survey and enrich the survey report with specific country cases, as well as undertake preliminary discussions to prepare the guidelines for education trade unions on addressing the environmental issues and sustainable development. Furthermore, the training workshops offer the opportunity to share good practices on supporting and building the capacity and knowledge of their affiliates to address the environmental issues and sustainable development in education, as well as on addressing the impact of environmental problems on education institutions and teachers, academics, and other education personnel.
