The ILO Enterprise Department will be hosting two events at the Global Entrepreneurship Week event at the UN Palais on the 19th of November 2009. The week is devoted to unleashing ideas on issues that matter most to present day society, ranging from poverty reduction to fostering a global culture which recognizes entrepreneurs as drivers of economic and social prosperity.

 A series of workshops, talks and events will be hosted by the ILO, ITC, UNCTAD, UNDP, and UNECE where each will showcase their work in the field of promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The ILO, in particular, will be hosting two events entitled: "Promoting an Enterprise Culture" and "Unleashing Entrepreneurship" with interactive games, and activities to promote its work in entrepreneurship around the globe.

 All staff and interns are invited to join in;while for externals (former staff and former interns) it will be necessary to contact a representative at the ILO office for more information. More information on the event and its activities can be found at unleashingideas.org, and a search for activities in Switzerland in the "Get Involved" section, will show a list of events to attend throughout the week.
