Inclusion: breaking the invisible wall

SALTO Inclusion Training in 2008

The SALTO Inclusion Resource Centre organises the following training activities for youth workers in 2008:

• "TC E.M.power" on how to use the European Youth in Action programme as a tool in a pathway to emancipate & empower Ethnic Minority young women, developing leadership skills and competences (May 2008, in the United Kingdom)
• "TC Image Building & Inclusion" - how to work on positive image building for 'disadvantaged' or socially excluded groups (October 2008, in cooperation with the Hungarian NA)
• SALTO Inclusion commits itself to the Inclusion Quality Charter for the organisation of its Training Courses

Support and training for National Agencies:

• "Colleague Support Groups for NA Inclusion Officers" - small working meetings of Inclusion Officers of National Agencies discussing inclusion issues, sharing ideas and experiences

But there is more:

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,...). 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...
