Some working impressions ...
Issues:
- According to the UE funds possibilities ;
- According to the need and interest of the CSIT Union members ;
- According to all activities implemented in each CSIT organisation members ;
- According to the importance for the CSIT (and its members) to take part in an international project and take part in the international sport movement ;
- According to the context and general program for the next years (2013 ...)
- According to the specificity of the workers movement worldwide
... this seminar helped very much the CSIT identifying and potentially building projects, which will involve several CSIT members (EU and Non-EU).
