Voices from previous USW

It's been a great week as I've learnt a lot from you. The organization has been brilliant regarding the workshops, coffee breaks, meetings with the staff. The most important thing is that I am ready to explain to my agency some of the ideas and practices you perform because they are really useful in terms of the QA.

Registration & Contact

Confirm your interest to join USW by 24th of April 2025 and let us know if your agency would like to contribute with a workshop or presentation within the themes of the Staff Week.

After the deadline, we will decide upon final participation based on factors such as geography and willingness to contribute to the programme.
