ILO Centenary – 2019

ILO Centenary – 2019

The next year, 2019, marks the Centenary of the ILO. The Section of Former Officials would like to participate in the actions and events for the Centenary celebrations and therefore I am writing to ask for your help to make the celebrations truly memorable. More information about specific plans will be sent to you later as well as being posted on the Section’s website. The Section has met with the ILO’s Centenary Project Coordinator and our proposed activities are intended to be incorporated into the ILO’s master plan!

With the support and encouragement of the ILO, we are now contacting you to seek your input by way of memories, anecdotes, photos etc. that you may have of important conferences, events, occasions, or people that have shaped or contributed to the organization and its achievements. Any text you might wish to contribute need only be a half to one page of A4 as they are initially intended as “snapshots” although we may ask for some to be developed further as necessary.

Depending on the context and other activities taking place, these texts and/or photos may be used in a special edition of our periodical Message, used by the ILO in one of two books that are being written to mark the occasion or to illustrate other ILO Centenary events and activities.

In order to be sure such contributions can be incorporated we would need to receive them by the end of June 2018. Please send your contributions by email or by post.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Section if you would like more information or have any suggestions on how you can participate in the Section’s activities to mark the Centenary. We need volunteers so please get writing!
