We bring together our member organisations to discuss and share experiences, good practices and ideas on responding to collective challenges. Together we are building the education unions of the future: mass participation organisations that reflect the diverse interests and identities of their members and offer educators a multitude of ways to engage and contribute.
During her address to Education International's 6th World Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, EI President, Susan Hopgood, has called on educators from all over the world, gathered at the meeting, to stand together and fight the challenges that lie ahead of the international teacher trade union movement.
