I’m devastated by this news. Jukka was my mentor and friend for more than 30 years, and I am where I am only because he took a chance and hired me in 1996 to work on the first ITUC course. The heritage community has lost a giant today, and I have no words to express my grief.

The famous Chagall paintings that hang in our lobby add a magical element to the building’s façade. Ever wonder why they are covered during the day? There’s a good reason why these legendary works of art have a daily curtain call. Watch the video to learn more!
