Support and training for National Agencies: But there is more: ^^ top ^^ 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.

Target Group Approach
(Tony Geudens, 11.09.06 16:27)
SALTO Inclusion started off with a target group approach, and there are probably still quite some inclusion target groups that we haven't reached yet: such as homeless/street children, Roma-gypsy-travellers, rural-isolated youth, (sub)urban youth, ... other suggestions?
targeting Roma
(lydia gabcova, 05.09.07 18:28)
Having in mind all international conventions, EC directives and national actions plans, I am really missing targeting Roma minority. It is the biggest EU minority, facing diverse problems in each country. In the same time, in many countries are running young Roma NGOs who are also interested to get know better other young people from EUROPE..to learn about their problems, experiences, make friendships..
Targeting Roma inclusion
(Toni Tashev, 04.03.08 00:11)
I do think that Roma people and their issues are not targeted yet, indeed, although it is the biggest EU minority with about 10 million people and many many young Roma organisations open for friendships and common actions.
