The First Meeting of the Advisory Committee of the International Network of Education for Work (INEW) was held in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, on March 25th, 26th and 27th, with the participation of foreign representatives.
Victor Santa Maria, president of INEW, and Gustavo Alvarez,
executive director, lead the opening day, welcoming the
following Network members: Carmelo Tulumello (RIETI
Training Institution, Province of Rieti, Italy), Maria Cordona
Cabases and Jose Martinez Abadia (Institute la Merce of
Barcelona, Spain), and François Matthey (Calixa Lavallee
Centre, Montreal, Canada).
The activities organized included expositions, workshops and
lectures, including the participation of specialized member
institutions, cultural tours and visits to education institutions.
Discourses covered the education systems of Argentina,
Spain, Italy and Canada, and also Professional Training
Courses. Likewise, interventions were made in terms of
vocational orientation, certification of knowledge and trainers training.
Additionally, issues covering the areas of work of the Network were covered and common criteria were found as regards its
internal structure. Identifying points in common paved the way to draft the document entitled “Consensus of Buenos Aires”,
which set forth the actions and challenges to be faced and complied with by INEW members along 2015 and 2016, at the
biannual international meeting in Italy.
On the closing day, representatives from different trade unions related to the Trade Union Network for Professional Training
Colleges (RESEFOP) participated exchanging experiences.
