Aims of This Session To get to know with each other; To clearly understand the objectives and expected outputs of this course; and To grasp participants’ expectations to the course and make fine-tunings to the course timetable.

Three Basic Agreements!!! Let’s be active and participative in all activities during the course; Let’s be attentive to our classmates in all occasions; and Let’s be punctual! Any additional agreements you want to propose?

Background of the Course (1) Integration of economies and creation of global market – “policy driven”: Liberalization/deregulation/privatization Changes in trade, production, investment Freer flow of goods/services/finances Multinationalization of enterprises. Economic and social exclusions and growing gaps among regions/nations/populations; Needs for political wills and international/ regional/national systems of governance for fairer distributions of wealth, equal opportunities and decent work: Emphasis to be placed on the point that: This is probably the only opportunity for regional staff of all the ITSs to get together, exchange information on their activities, problems and future plan of actions, and develop network among themselves. In the past, we offered training courses for individual ITSs, independently. Now, after consultation with the ITS groups, we decided to organize this ITS programme.

Background of the Course (2) Needs for Strong Trade Unions for Promoting a strong political will, nationally and internationally, for social inclusion and justice; Representing workers’ voices in national and international policy debates on economic and social issues. Needs for skilful trade union leaders and supporting staff to lead the union actions and campaigns in this area. Emphasis to be placed on the point that: This is probably the only opportunity for regional staff of all the ITSs to get together, exchange information on their activities, problems and future plan of actions, and develop network among themselves. In the past, we offered training courses for individual ITSs, independently. Now, after consultation with the ITS groups, we decided to organize this ITS programme.

Development Objectives This Course is aimed at contributing to: Promoting an established structure, or institutionalizing new one, within trade unions responsible for economic and social policies; Strengthening the technical capacity of national trade unions leaders and staff for developing effective economic and social policies, for making active participation in national/international tripartite discussions and decision-making processes, and for organizing a systematic workers’ education programmes; Developing national/regional/international structures and mechanisms for social dialogue whereby interests of workers are effectively heard and reflected in the social and economic policies of the nations as well as of the regional/international governmental bodies; and Building up an effective communication network among national trade unions in the region that will facilitate a sharing of information and experiences on social and economic issues. Emphasis to be placed on the point that: This is probably the only opportunity for regional staff of all the ITSs to get together, exchange information on their activities, problems and future plan of actions, and develop network among themselves. In the past, we offered training courses for individual ITSs, independently. Now, after consultation with the ITS groups, we decided to organize this ITS programme.

Immediate Objectives (1) At the end of this course, the participants will be able to: identify main issues and difficulties faced by trade unions in the field of economic and social policies; understand the procedures and supervisory mechanisms of international labour standards and how to apply them practically; Identify positive and negative impacts of globalisation on workers and trade unions, and actions to be taken to minimize the negative ones; be able to mainstream gender issues in the field of economic and social policies; identify main arguments and propositions of presently popular theories of international economics and political economy, and analyze current economic and social situations; Understand about the role of WTO, IMF and World Bank, and analyze the impact of their policies on societies and workers; Emphasis to be placed on the point that: This is probably the only opportunity for regional staff of all the ITSs to get together, exchange information on their activities, problems and future plan of actions, and develop network among themselves. In the past, we offered training courses for individual ITSs, independently. Now, after consultation with the ITS groups, we decided to organize this ITS programme.

Immediate Objectives (2) Identify key labour agenda associated with the programmes of IMF and WB, with particular emphasis on PRSP and the role of trade unions in the process; Analyze the development and impact of regional economic integration and bi-lateral free trade agreement and their implications to workers; Propose effective trade union policies and strategies on social and economic issues, including systematic trade union training programmes; Utilize the power of information technologies, including distance education methodology and networking, to improve the capacity and management of trade unions and to build networks; and Develop training materials and project proposals which aim to improve the general or specific capacity of trade unions in the subject area. Emphasis to be placed on the point that: This is probably the only opportunity for regional staff of all the ITSs to get together, exchange information on their activities, problems and future plan of actions, and develop network among themselves. In the past, we offered training courses for individual ITSs, independently. Now, after consultation with the ITS groups, we decided to organize this ITS programme.
