The project seeks to strengthen capacities towards the role of younger generations in trade unions and other workers’ organisations by combining knowledge-sharing, strategic reflection, and participatory practice among representatives of trade unions and other workers’ organisations. Specifically, the project will:
- Provide participants with up-to-date research and demographic insights on youth membership in trade unions and other workers’ organisations in Europe;
- Introduce concrete frameworks developed by trade unions and other workers’ organisations to support youth integration;
- Encourage reflection on challenges and barriers to youth involvement, both within trade unions and other workers’ organisations as well as at the workplace;
- Create a safe and creative space for representatives of trade unions and other workers’ organisations to share experiences and strategies to increase the membership of youth in trade unions and other workers’ organisations;
- Promote cross-national dialogue and network-building between actors of trade unions and other workers’ organisations working on youth issues;
- Equip participants with practical tools and methods to design and implement small-scale, concrete actions in their own organisations.
