SALTO Inclusion Statistics - an overview of achievements

The SALTO Inclusion Resource Centre grew significantly over the years. Here are some figures about the increase of inclusion training, publications, resources - and the interest in them.







Participants to SALTO Inclusion Activities

In the beginning (2000) SALTO only had the resources to organise 2 training courses per year. Gradually, its staff and funding was increased which also led to more youth & inclusion workers being reached.

 TC ImageBuilding for Inclusion Groups 
 Intervision for NA Inclusion Officers 
   
  • The + in the number of participants refers to the fact that NAs only forwarded maximum 4 candidates from their country - which means that it is likely there were more applicants that applied to their NA (of which we have no info). From 2005 applications are online, which gives us a view on the totality of interested candidates.
