Introduction
The Labour Education Centre was founded in 1987 by union activists from the Toronto and York Region Labour Council who believed in the power of learning to transform the lives of working people.
Our mission today is to help build the capacity of unions to plan, develop and conduct training, adjustment and labour education programs that transform the lives of individual members and build the strength, solidarity and equity of their unions.
We
offer:
Organizational Change programs from an equity perspective, using an anti-oppression framework that integrates an analysis of race, class, gender, and other systems of power and privilege.
Train the trainer workshops to develop skills in planning, designing, facilitating workshops, and to enhance the ability of the training staff or department to strategize, organize, and integrate training and education goals into the life and work of their unions.
Popular Education workshops including principles and practice of popular education applied to training and development, as well as applied to other union activities like organizing, political action, coalition building.
Union and Equity programs to set up and plan for the formation of caucuses for your equity-seeking groups (aboriginal workers, workers of colour, women, gay, lesbian, transgendered, and bisexual workers, workers with disabilities); develop an overall equity framework and strategy that will help shape the union's organizing, bargaining, and representation, and coalition-building programs or initiatives.
Other equity workshops like anti-racism, anti-harassment and discrimination, human rights, and women and unions.
