The Eurasian Association of Trade Union Organizations of Universities (EATUOU)
INFORMATIONAL LETTER
Dear colleagues, members of EATUOU, and veterans of the Association!
We invite you to take part in the creative project:
“ EATUOU: FROM HEART TO HEART – A Collection of Memoirs”
The project of the Eurasian Association of Trade Union Organizations of Universities (EATUOU) is being implemented in accordance with the decision of the 38th Congress of the EATUOU. The collection will introduce staff from various universities and countries to the memoirs of its representatives from different periods (including veterans and chairmen of university trade union committees who hosted EATUOU congresses). These memoirs will focus on the most vivid events and episodes from the 40-year history of the EATUOU, as well as personal contributions to the Association’s work and the prominent individuals whose participation made EATUOU’s activities possible.
Project Goals and Scope
This project will unite creative individuals from university trade union organizations and provide an opportunity to express themselves through documentary creative work. In the future, the project’s scope may expand as new participants join EATUOU —universities from the Russian Federation and neighboring countries.
Genres for Submissions:
- Documentary Essay
- Documentary Narrative
- Reportage
The sections of the collection will be determined by the editorial board: they may be organized by theme or in chronological order of the Association’s history (1987–2027).
