Strengthening social dialogue through capacity building of workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations 2019

The project ‘Strengthening social dialogue through capacity building of workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations’ will contribute to developing and reinforcing quality and effectiveness of social dialogue in the Member States and candidate countries. The project is organised in two parallel actions as follows: 1. The European Youth Academy on the Future of work: a training and knowledge-sharing action designed by the Programme for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV) of the ITCILO in partnership with the European Trade Union Confederation. In 2019 the Action will be implemented also in cooperation with the ETUC Youth Committee and the ETUI Education. The Action aims at strengthening trade unions’ capacity to protect young workers during the processes of change that are currently transforming the world of work. 2. The Employers Young Professionals’ Academy which is the 8th edition of one of ITCILO flagship initiatives, run in collaboration with BusinessEurope, and aiming at strengthening the capacity of young staff members of employers’ organisations (EOs) in their core functions, notably advocacy, social dialogue and understanding of economic policy. Both components will use the ITCILO’s “Turin Learning Approach” (TLA), a training methodology for the design, implementation and evaluation of learning activities based on the following principles: I. relevance: methods are learner-centred; diversity adds value; design is flexible; II. quality: the learning environment is state-of-the-art; global values are promoted; learning is experiential; knowledge is shared and created; III. impact: competencies are embedded; networks are established; professional learning management is standard. These principles are well adapted to the world of labour, in line with the international dimension and the values of the EU and ILO such as social dialogue and participation, a rights-based approach to development, equality, non-discrimination, and results-orientation.
