IASEW and WIEGO partner together to host 5 DAY International Workshop on “Worker’s Education for Worker’s Power” Asia Training of Trainers in Ahmedabad to Empower Informal Economy Worker Leaders
AHMEDABAD, INDIA :- This week, at our IASEW office in Ahmedabad, we are hosting the Workers’ Education for Workers’ Power! Asia Training of Trainers, in partnership with WIEGO School.
It is a space of solidarity, where 22 worker leaders from 8 countries and 4 sectors have come together, nominated by HomeNet International (HNI), StreetNet International (SNI), the International Alliance of Waste Pickers (IAWP), and the International Domestic Workers’ Federation (IDWF). Together, they are strengthening their confidence and skills as worker educators with a critical understanding of the informal economy.
Over the five days, participants are engaged in an intensive curriculum designed to:
Share diverse experiences and challenges from across the informal economy.
Analyze workers’ realities from multiple perspectives to build common ground.
Deepen their knowledge of worker education as a fundamental tool for building collective power.
Practice democratic and participatory methods for facilitating learning within their own movements.
Strategize and plan activities that align with their respective organizational mandates.
For IASEW, hosting this training is a celebration of cross-border solidarity, workers’ resilience, and the shared belief that education is power. Through collective learning, we strengthen not only our organizations but also the broader global movement of informal workers.
