Goals

The gathering’s goal is to establish the basis of the collaboration between the different organizations invited and to collectively and democratically think of the action plan and demands to put forward to counter the disinvestment and reforms in the education field. It is necessary to review the reforms and what they mean for our settings. We shall also discuss and take position on the alternatives and the means of action that are offered to us.

The gathering’s goal is to get to draft an agreement on which the different delegations can agree and would be ready to bring back and defend in their general assemblies.

GENERAL PRESENTATION

We think the public sector employees’ negotiations is a key in the fight against austerity measures. It is why ASSÉ hopes to open a space of solidarity and discussion by organizing a wide forum uniting a large number of local unions in education and student unions. The Union Gathering for Education is to be a non-partisan and democratic space where local union’s delegates and mobilization committees will be able to talk freely. We believe in the necessity to build a movement of solidarity to protect our public services. This is a call for hope: let’s hope it will be heard.
