STUDY-VISIT
PROGRAMME
In 2007, an
innovative

strategic
partnership with
Italy's leading
trade union - CGIL.
The bilateral
study-visit
programme has now
reached its third
consecutive year
consisting of young
workers doing
industrial visits in

EURO-MED YOUTH
TRADE UNION NETWORK
The network is GWU
Youths' brainchild
following talks with
other trade unions
in the Mediterranean
which contacts were
also facilitated
thanks to the
Euro-Med Youth
Platform. Funded by
the European
Commission, EMYTUN
had a very positive
start leading to a
number of activities
whilst proving
useful in
partner-finding.
Lack of EU funds
affected the
continuity of the
project which is now
seeking a new
impetus.
