The project aimed at raising awareness about trade unions and labour rights to young people in cooperation with Norwegian partner
Against the background of decreasing trade union density in Latvia, as in Europe, the objective of the project was to promote trade unions and encourage more young people to be involved. At the same time, to inform young people, but also the rest of society, about their rights in the labour market. Through research and new methods, the project raised young people's awareness and trust of the importance of trade unions and decent work, and also built further on the results of the first project “Be informed on rights and obligations”.
The following activities were carried out:
- an analysis of the working conditions of youth
