STUDY CIRCLES
Study circles enable small groups to learn together about how to advance their interests. They are essential for grassroots leaders to build up vibrant, democratic organisations. IFWEA study circles cover a range of topics including training for shop stewards, moderating online workshops, IT skills and more.
FOUNDATION SKILLS
The Foundation Skills for Social Change (FSSC) certificate programme is for leaders in trade unions and community organisations. The courses, designed by IFWEA affiliates with specific expertise, are user-friendly, relevant and practical. They include topics such as women’s leadership, and how to design online courses
OLA
The IFWEA Online Labour Academy (OLA) is an online education platform used by IFWEA affiliates to design and deliver online workplace, social and political education to their constituencies. The platform is highly flexible, allowing for a wide range of activities and resources to be used in courses. These can be moderated or self-managed.
YGAP
The Youth Global Awareness Programme (YGAP) is a vibrant exposure and exchange programme for young members of IFWEA affiliates and associated labour organisations. The programme develops the next generation of worker educators to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. To find out more about our YGAP programme, click the button below.
