Congress:
1. notes the global growth in right wing populism and the increasing assaults on labour rights, EDI and educational freedoms
2. welcomes international activities to defend workers and students under threat in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Palestine, Sudan and Ukraine and our support for global campaigns on climate justice and aims to seek an apology from the British Government for all imperialist-driven atrocities, particularly the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in 1919.
3. recognises the value of internationalism and of joint work with sister unions and affiliated organisations like Education International in response to common challenges
4. recognises the value of mutual learning from international union partners in areas like collective bargaining, education policy and equality including decolonisation
5. calls on NEC to continue to engage members, branches and regions in practical international work, including the use of webinars, e-actions and solidarity actions and visits.
