To establish a European Works Council, to build up contacts with other countries and to shape actively the information and
consultation procedures, comprehensive training is indispensable. You need to know your rights to be able to influence
company decisions at an early stage. Workplace representatives bring along many experiences from their own country, but
learning starts by crossing the border: Learning from others, learning with others and - at the end of the day - learning
about ourselves.
More and more agreements on European Works Councils include provisions for training programmes. Even if no provisions are
made in writing, the management is often cooperative: quite frequently an extra training day follows an EWC meeting.
The trainers in our network are specialised in different transnational workers' representation issues. According to the
topics of the seminar we offer an uniquely build team or qualified individual trainers, all of them with a rich collection
of experiences in other companies and in similar events. Our target groups are first of all workplace representatives
(works councils, representatives' committees, national works councils and European Works Councils). By request we develop
seminars with participants from management as well.
