Workhop was attended by the FPU Vice president Sergei Kondruk (all two
days) and a team of experts from FPU Media Center, who presented as an example, a FPU draft concept of information policy.

Participants exchanged information and developed principles of the information and communication policy. It was a unanimous decision to continue this work next year, and the PERC was requested to find opportunity to apply for a separate Project assistance, and invite interested GUFs to join in.

As a first step it was decided earlier next year to arrange a demonstration web conference in Kiev (format, communication programs and other online instruments are to be provided by the FPU affiliated PIT union) demonstrating opportunities of online campaigning, union - employer live dialog, PP presentations, developing and editing joint documents online, developing union audio information products (format similar to podcast) for organizing and recruiting.
