Dear all,
thanks for coming so numerous (23 attendees) to the Prosa/Worktrotter joint event about working globally (as "Work"-trotters do). It was again a Danish/international crowd that attended.
I'm very happy that we also had Lars from the trade union DJØF holding a presentation, so we went far beyond the IT space.
It shows that working globally has some challenges, but the better we know about them, the better we can meet them well prepared.
After the program we had very lively networking.

Lars' presentation and the survey they did at DJØF will be published here in short time.

Have a great weekend,
Dagmar

I was glad to attend this IT-related event and meet other folks who work in my field. It was the first time I've met other IT people in Denmark - we tend to be isolated in our own silos!

The first presentation (on the results of surveys of Danish people who worked abroad) was mildly interesting, but I felt was not very relevant to the audience. We could have benefited more from a discussion about the pros and cons of working abroad, how to capitalize on one's experience, etc.

The second presentation (on the merits of working for the UN or WHO) was mildly better and raised some worthwhile and relevant topics about good and bad working conditions, ways of finding work, etc.

I'd like to attend a follow-up session which could focus more on working conditions at private Danish firms: how to negotiate contracts, what benefits to expect, what to do if you're being exploited -- many of the issues that are of concern to PROSA members. Sessions should be split up according to private sector vs. government, because the issues are different in these 2 fields.
