The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), together with CIHEAM Zaragoza, is organizing the International Advanced Course on Promoting Decent Working Conditions in Fisheries, which will take place during 19-23 May 2025 in Isla Cristina (Huelva, Spain). This course is only in-person, and the language is English.
The course will address the main social challenges that fisheries face in order to come up with strategies to overcome and improve these situations by protecting and empowering fishers and fish workers in the sector. It will provide the knowledge and tools to elaborate mechanisms from international to national levels that enhance fishers and fish labour working conditions and their participation in defending their rights.
The course is designed for 25-30 professionals with a university degree, and is aimed at managers of fisheries administrations or institutions with responsibility for social issues in the fisheries sector, fishery and labour inspectors, technical advisors and other specialists involved in the subject matter of the course.
