Future Inclusion courses? Your suggestions are Welcome !

The SALTO Inclusion Resource Centre wants to address an as wide as possible variety of course topics related to Inclusion. Previous SALTO TC Inclusion courses focussed on different actions of the YOUTH (in Action) Programme (European Voluntary Service & Group Initiatives) and on a specific target group (young people with a disability, LGBT Youth, Ex-offenders, Rural youth, Urban Youth, Youth at Risk,...). From 2009, SALTO Inclusion set out to address the issue of Youth Unemployment & Social Inclusion in a longer term perspective.

SALTO Inclusion is always on the outlook for course topics for future courses - maybe another target group or a specific way of working with marginalized target groups...

• Post your suggestions for SALTO Inclusion courses at the bottom of this page ! Your opinion is important to us.
