We are pleased to announce that the next UNI-Europa Youth Seminar will be in Manchester (United Kingdom) held on the 1-3 February 2012.



All UNI affiliates are invited to register their youth participants to the UNI-Europa Youth Seminar and is open to young trade unionists under the age of 35.



The meeting will start on Wednesday, 1 February, at 17.00 and will finish on Friday, 3 February at 17:00. The conference party will be held on the evening of the 3rd February, so all participants should plan to leave on the Saturday morning.



The seminar will focus on two important subjects, Youth Unemployment and Temporary Agency Work. However, we will also touch on other subjects such as Organising and other youth issues.



The steering group are working on plans for an action on the 2 February in Manchester to highlight an organising issue locally or problems of youth unemployment, which is very high in the UK.



Please note that there are no elections or motions to be discussed at this seminar.



Participants

In line with the UNI-Europa Statutes and the UNI-Europa Youth Rules, participants should not be older than 35 years of age. Affiliates are encouraged to ensure that the composition of their delegations to the meeting is a reflection of the age and gender structure of the youth membership of their union with the aim to further decrease the average age of the participants to the UNI-Europa Youth Committee meeting.



Interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation will be available to and from English, French and Spanish (Subject to participation levels)



Passive interpretation will be available from Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and German.



It would, however, be beneficial for participants to have some knowledge of English in order to be able to communicate more easily with each other.
