🚨 The GFTU is one of the most important events in our educational calendar.

This unique residential programme brings together trade union activists, organisers and leaders from across the movement to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions and discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead. 🚀

🔥 Summer School offers something increasingly rare: time to step back from the day-to-day, connect and think strategically about how we build a stronger movement for the future.

📢 Places are limited and demand is already high. If you've been considering attending, now is the time to secure your place - https://gftuet.org.uk/courses/gftu-summer-school

🚩 The GFTUET recognises the incredible breadth of skills and experience across the union movement in the delivery of trade union education, and believes providing the space for educators to come together is vital to strengthening activism in our unions.

🥁 That's why, brand new to the 2025/6 education programme, they've created the CPD Day for Professional Trade Union Tutors course.

🚀 This incredible learning opportunity is dedicated time to collaborate, network, and share resources; keeping tutors equipped to support all learners and ensure that delivery of education remains engaging and accessible for the movement.

📍 Delivered in one day at the Workers' Retreat, you don't want to miss this - https://gftuet.org.uk/courses/cpd-day-for-professional-trade-union-tutors
