The ITF Summer Schools, established after the 1998 Congress in Delhi as part of the Mobilising Solidarity programme, play an important role in strengthening the international perspective of union leaders and activists. ITF affiliated unions have been finding that many of the issues which affect their members at a local level frequently have an international dimension, which requires an international response. The summer school provides training on international issues such as privatisation, transport restructuring and globlisation.
ITF Summer School 2009
This year's summer school marks the 10th anniversary since the summer school began. This will be marked by a reflection on the achievements and challenges faced by those who have gone through the school.
The summer school will be held in the UK from 21-25 September 2009, at Stoke Rochford Hall in Lincolnshire.
ITF affiliates in the UK and Ireland are supporting the summer school through the UK/Ireland Coordinating Committee.
The summer school is also supported by Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES).
