Thinking Fair Futures: Ending Unpaid Internships
Do you want to connect with policy makers and other young people on how to end unpaid internships now? Are you ready to think about how fair and meaningful work could look like? Join us for our upcoming event “Thinking Fair Futures: Ending Unpaid Internships” where we come together to discuss important issues around banning unpaid internships and what the world of work should look like.
when and where?
Wednesday 30 October, 15:00-18:00 CET (followed by a reception) - Townhall Europe, Brussels
Register below by 25 October 2024. Participants will be chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis. Selected applicants will be informed by 28 October 2024.
what to expect?
Internships and unpaid internships have become almost a rite of passage for many young people across the globe. We have been at the forefront of the fight for quality and paid internships for over ten years. Don't miss the opportunity to join forces once again to speak about unpaid internships!
The conversation around the world of work today sounds like a broken record. The “Not Yet” is never addressed. What rights should we be looking at to make the labour market adequate for the current and future generations? We'll explore these thoughts and many more together.
for whom?
This event is open to everyone in and around Brussels who is interested and / or involved in these debates and wants to start or continue their support to ban unpaid internships. Seats are limited, so make sure to register as soon as possible.
