Another key topic addressed was the launch of the GCTU Youth School. The school’s objective is to foster the long-term development of trade union communities by identifying and supporting young leaders and trade union teams, as well as by providing mentorship for youth-led projects. The school is being established to provide training and professional development for young trade union activists and personnel from GTCU member organizations, who are considered a strategic resource for the Confederation.
During the meeting, the Youth Council members were also briefed on the launch of a large-scale GCTU educational initiative and on plans to enhance the information outreach of the trade union association. Council members emphasized the need to increase coverage of youth trade union activities on the Confederation's official information channels and to promote GCTU materials within social media communities.
