Premiere of the video “Trade unions are IN – engage, act, influence

“Our strength is in our fellowship. There are tens of thousands of us only in the region. In the world – a few million. We are the most organized group of young people from different sectors. It is your right to influence your work environment and community life. It is your right to say what kind of present and future you want. It is your right to be regularly informed, gain new knowledge and new contacts”, are just some of the messages that young trade union activists want to convey to young people across the region and Europe.

What else they have to say you can see in the video which we present as part of the campaign “Trade unions are IN – engage, act, influence”, and which is created by young participants of the project “Trade unions and their youth sections – a new impetus for youth participation”.

Activity has started in January and thanks to the spirit and energy of the young trade union activists and the project team, despite all obstacles we have encountered this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with all precautions on place, our activities have run smoothly. Therefore, listen to our messages for you to learn how to influence your work environment, who can help you and whom to address, because young people – this world remains to you and the future is in your hands.

Project “Trade unions and their youth sections – a new impetus for youth participation” is being implemented with support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe. Coordinator is Development Center for Youth from Belgrade, and its partners are Trade Union Education Center from Banja Luka, Trade Union Center for Education and Training from Skopje and the association COSMO from Podgorica, with the active involvement of associations from Slovenia, Greece and Albania.
