International Women’s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women for their economic, political and social achievements.
A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women’s craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more. Many global corporations actively support IWD by running their own events and campaigns.
For this purpose, the Macedonian Occupational Safety and Health Association in collaboration with colleagues from Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia and Kosovo is organizing an event for the exchange of experience and good practice visiting companies in Germany and Italy.
The first visit is foreseen for TNO – an independent research organization, whose goal is joint creation of economic and social value in the society. Their focus is on transitions or changes of nine social issues, including safety and health at work, new skills and technologies, information, informative technology, a healthy environment, innovations in industry, energy, strategic analysis and policies, and more.
Every four years, in close cooperation with their stakeholders, they develop a strategic plan that describes the path they will follow their own mission. This plan is their proposal for society. The strategy reflects the trends they see in society and technology. In close cooperation with their stakeholders, they define five domains which are they focused on. They are in line with the challenges and ambitions of the Top Sector Policy and social issues in the Netherlands and other European countries.
