Youth Matters CWU Eastern number 5 Branch Youth Officer Ian Emms

National Youth Education Event

This year’s event was held in Birmingham with the highest turnout

So far the event keeps growing year upon year. The background to the event is a welcome on Friday evening as an icebreaker, then on

Saturday morning we have workshops such as Media, Hip-Hop,

ECT. Later on in the morning we had report back on how the workshops had gone. Saturday afternoon was dedicated to writing

Motions and preparation for the mock conference which was to take place on Sunday morning. 

The feedback we received was good but most people including

I complained about the standard and quality of our Hotel accommodation and the way in which this event was handled by

Them.

UNI EUROPA EVENT, MOSCOW

I was lucky enough to attend the UNI EUROPA YOUTH event in Moscow back in October 07. The event was a real eye opener how different unions operate the youth structure. We CWU UK took

The second largest delegation the largest being VERDI from Germany. The impact we had as a union I believe was very positive

There are lots of things which we are doing in this country which

Other countries and unions did take on board for example; HK Norway took the idea of a regional youth setup.

I really enjoyed the experience and the knowledge about how UNI works...
