The project aimed to address the level of trust and social dialogue practices between social partners in Estonia. This was important for developing a more effective social dialogue model, which is necessary for easing reforms and gaining political support. The focus was on equipping employers with knowledge and practical tools to facilitate access to work for inactive groups such as the young, elderly, and people with disabilities. It also aimed to strengthen tripartite cooperation among employers, trade unions, and the government to prepare for legislative changes that support more active labour market policies.
The project aimed to improve social dialogue and cooperation, enhance the implementation of the decent work agenda, facilitate access to employment, and strengthen collaboration between beneficiary and Norwegian entities. It delivered value by proposing legislative changes, educating employers, and improving cooperation between social partners and the government.
Key activities of the project included conducting a questionnaire to map the needs of employers and trade unions, organizing training sessions for employers, studies, and holding seminars and workshops with participation from trade unions and Norwegian experts. A study trip to Norway for an Estonian tripartite delegation was also planned. The project developped written and filmed study materials for wider distribution and e-learning, conducted a final evaluation questionnaire, and engaged in communication and public relations to disseminate information.
