APHEDA plans Asian and Middle Eastern tours


APHEDA-Union Aid Abroad has announced its international study tours for next year.

In January 2001 there will be a tour to the Thai-Burma border and/or Cambodia, in May Indonesia is the destination and in May there may be a study tour to the Middle East according to interest.

APHEDA-Union Aid Abroad Education Officer Peter Jennings says these tours provide a unique opportunity to experience different cultures, learn from local people about their lives and communities and visit famous tourist sites.

'The annual APHEDA-Union Aid Abroad study tours play an important role in helping Australian trade unionists become even more aware of global issues and helps them more fully appreciate the culture, the situation and the struggles of workers in the countries which they visit,' he says.
