The focus of the workshop will be on the global challenges in the world of work, with a particular emphasis on topics such as just transition, gender equality and social reproduction, migration, and authoritarian regimes. The aim is to explore how these challenges impact the work of trade unions and the labour movement at large. Alumni attending the workshop are requested to present case studies during the workshop, providing an opportunity for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing among the alumni and the participating experts from the GLU network.

To apply for participation at the GLU Alumni Workshop in Kassel, please answer all the questions and upload the requested documents by Tuesday, April 22, 2025, using the following link: GLUAlumni2025. You will have to indicate the connection between your work (or the work of your organization, more broadly) and the workshop topics. Furthermore, you will be requested to submit a short abstract (half page) on the case study you would like to present during the workshop.

Your application will be reviewed after this date, and you will be informed about the decision of the Selection Committee shortly thereafter. Preference will be given to alumni who haven’t yet participated in other GLU alumni activities.
