Plenary Meeting of CPLP-SE

Plenary Meeting of CPLP-SE, January 31, 2008

Dear companions

The fact that all organizations that make up our CPLP-SE are invited to participate in the 9th FNE Congress? National Federation of Education, to be held next May, on the 10th and 11th, makes it possible to schedule an extraordinary meeting of our Organization, which was already mentioned at the time of our previous Conference, held in Lisbon in April last year.

Will we thus have the opportunity to take stock of the situation regarding the major areas of work that we have outlined in the CPLP Activity Plan? SE for the 2007/2010 triennium, and our project for the development of that plan, submitted to IPAD? Portuguese Institute for Development Support, was not the object of funding, so we will have to define new ways of pursuing this objective.

At this meeting, we will also be able to approve a Joint Declaration, with the concern of being widely disseminated by the media, giving visibility to our Organization, and addressing the following items: (i) union rights; (ii) teacher training; (iii) working conditions and (iv) combating HIV / AIDS.

I then call a plenary meeting of the CPLP-SE for the next 9th of May, to be held in Lisbon, at the Hotel Alif, between 3 pm and 6 pm.

Abel Macedo
