Women and Youth in focus of the cooperation with HAndels,Sweden

The Training Program for two years designed and structured

In the period from 07 to 10 June a two member's delegation of Handels,Sweden from the region Sundswall visited Sarajevo.The puprose of this visit was to meet with the representatives of the FIET Project for BIH and together with them as well as with the representatives of Youth and Women's Section of BIH to design and structure the planned training project for women and youth.

This Project has aim to strainghten and improve the skills of the target group of 30 participanst coming from the women's section and youth section of the commerce trade unions of FBIH and RS and to develop their capabilities of aplying their knowledge and skills in their respective comunities.

Besides disccussing the project itself, our friends from Handels had a chance to meet with representatives of the two sections of CTUBIH in Zenica as well as to get familiar with the general women's work in the trade union movement in BIH by meeting the representative of ICTU office for SEE.

The project has been sent by our colleagues in Sweden to Olaf Palme Foundation for the aproval and hopefully very soon will be ready for the implemenation.

We hope this is not just beginning of the new very interesting and usefull project for CTUBIH but moreover the beginning of the new and ever lasting friendship.

FLT provided new equipment for FIET Project in BIH

FLT proved itself as being the representtaives of proffesional and managerial staff and enginiers in Norway by recognizing the need for renewing the computer equipment in the office of FIET Project for BIH and CTUBIH. The support worth little bit more then 15,000 KM will benefit the future work in representation,information and education in BIH union movement in commerce sector. Taking into the account the fact tha Project and CTUBIh have very limited recources on their disposal and cannot invest them in the equipment it is then clear how important this donation is for the Project as such but also for the union activities that are mostly designed and planned by the Project staff. We use this opportunity to thank our friends in FLT for making our work much eaiser and more effective by this concrete action of solidarity.
