Project goal was to improve social dialogue and cooperation among local, regional and national levels by providing experience exchange and training to education trade unionists, public authorities and employers. The project "Improving social dialogue in education - experience of Norway and Latvia" aimed to enhance collaboration and cooperation among education trade unions, public authorities, and employers at local, regional, and national levels.
Key activities included an experience exchange visit to the Union of Education in Norway, the design and implementation of an e-learning platform, and the organization of four regional social dialogue forums across Latvia. These forums facilitated consultations among local governments, school directors, and teachers, promoting a collaborative approach to addressing educational issues. The project culminated in a final conference in Riga, where stakeholders discussed the outcomes and shared best practices.
The project provided training to over 1000 social partners, significantly enhancing their capacity to engage in social dialogue. This training improved the participants' ability to partake in bipartite and tripartite dialogues, involving local governments, schools, and other educational institutions.
Project activity list includes: Visit to Education Trade Union in Norway, organization of regional social dialogue forums, and project final conference.
