The �Labour and Development� programme starts in January 2007  and is offered by the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. 

The University of Kassel and the Berlin School of Economics in Germany are offering  a course on �Labour Policies and Globalization� that starts in September 2007.

The programmes are targeting (potential)  trade union experts. Interested trade unionists should now apply. Please find attached an information leaflet about next years programmes. The deadline for submission is 1st of October 2006  for South Africa and  1st of March 2007 for Germany.
