Activities include national dissemination events organized by selected organizations, such as CITUB, FNV, and CCOO, with a target of reaching 1500 trade union leaders and activists. Collaboration with the Trade Union Development Cooperation Network (TUDCN)/ITUC is integral to the project's success.
