Description

Indigenous peoples and their rights are still not respected in many parts of the world. The issue of how trade unions are treating this aspect is important, since teachers (and also teachers' unions) are often seen as part of the dominant part of society. This project intends to maintain a dialogue between representants of indigenous peoples and unions, addressing the question of what indigenous communities and also indigenous teachers are expecting of teachers' unions?

Activities

Regional meetings between several national trade unions and indigenous representatives. Documentation and follow-up.
