Dear colleagues,

Within the Global Labour University network, a cooperation between  the 
International Labour Movement, academic institutions, foundations and the 
ILO  two   Master programmes on Labour  and Globalization for trade 
unionists are offered in 2007. The duration of the programmes is one year.  

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. The 
courses are  taught in English.  More detailed information and the 
application form are available on the Internet http://www.global-labour-
university.org.  

The Bureau for Workers’ Activities and its project partners will award a limited number of scholarships to applicants from developing and transition economies. Applicants need to have the endorsement of a trade union to apply for a scholarship. The grant is conditional on a contribution of 1500 
Euro from the supporting trade union or another donor. 

Please note that women are strongly encouraged to participate and strict 
gender criteria will be applied in awarding places and scholarships.  

Best regards
