The aim of the awards is to celebrate student creativity and engagement with aspects of the Decent Work Agenda and Trade Union Movement’s ethos.
This year students were asked to research Income Inequality, its impact on society, and possible solutions. The interpretation of the theme will hope to highlight the concerns of young people on important issues such as income inequality and inspire others to take an interest.
