Summary

This project empowers the Lithuanian construction workers based in Oslo by providing them with accurate information about their rights and duties as employees in Norway, and of relevant laws and regulations of the Norwegian society. The project is carried out by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with the Carpenters and Construction Workers Union (Tømrer og Byggfagforeningen) in Oslo.

The main activities include dissemination of information and carrying out a training programme for a core group of 20 Lithuanian construction workers.  This group will function as resource persons and further disseminate the acquired information through their private networks to other Lithuanian construction workers. The resource persons will also be given some Norwegian language training.
