In November 2013, the Gesellschaft für Bildung, Wissen, Seminar of the German mining, chemical and energy trade union IGBCE published a new manual designed mainly for EWC trainers, coaches and lecturers. The key focus of the publication is the development of intercultural competence, legal and organisational frameworks for EWCs, as well as target-setting and decision-making processes. The manual was prepared by TEAM.EWC, a consortium of German, Austrian and Romanian trade unions within the framework of a Leonardo da Vinci innovation transfer project.
