What do the young workers do in YCW?

YCW is a school of life where young workers from all walks of life meet in groups regularly. The young workers discuss about their working and living conditions, free time, family situations, relationships, beliefs, faith, dreams, values and aspirations. They take personal and collective actions to change the unjust situations at local, national and international level.
 
Today the YCW organises the young workers in all continents according to the sector of work in informal economy, temporary work, the unemployed and the young women workers. YCW provides the formation and training for them to share and reflect about their life and work. These reflections are done based on the See, Judge and Act method leading to actions. The actions of YCW aim to bring about changes in the society and at the personal level concerning living and working conditions.
