About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="color: #000000">The overarching aim of the project is to </span></span>initiate discussions on how the Norwegian model of social dialogue in education can be adapted and introduced in the Polish environment. There are political and ideological differences between the trade unions and employers’ organisations that complicates the communication on bi- and tripartite level, and by that complicates the social dialogue. The current areas of conflict are mostly related with low level of salaries, but the dysfunctional mechanisms of tripartite dialogue go further beyond that matters. The education sector representatives will by this project be trained and have professional qualification to participate in negotiations, communicate and influence each other. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project touches upon the weak points of social dialogue actors in education sector in Poland. It aims at transferring the experiences from Norway regarding cooperation model, best practices and tools to strengthen selected group of social partners in the 3 regions of south-west Poland. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project aims to improve qualifications, knowledge and skills of minimum 60 Polish social partners from 3 voivodships (Dolnośląskie, Małopolskie, Opolskie) on effective social dialogue in education using the Norwegian model. </span></span></p>
