Shaping Inclusion & Diversity: Create your Inclusion & Diversity Strategy (for NAs)

Make Inclusion & Diversity happen!

Inclusion and diversity are important elements of the E+: Youth in Action programme. Everybody should have the opportunity to participate in international youth projects! How can you bring the European Inclusion & Diversity Strategy to your national level? How can you reach the most impact with limited resources?

This course will take you through the different steps of strategy planning and inspire you to (re)think up a variety of strategic measures to reach more and better diversity and inclusion within E+ Youth in Action.

By the end of the course you will have a working draft of your national inclusion & diversity strategy (ready for a final check with your colleagues and stakeholders). This will require a bit of preparation though (needs analysis with your stakeholders).

What can you expect?

The SALTO Inclusion & SALTO Cultural Diversity resource centres support you to develop your national-level inclusion & diversity strategies to maximise the results and impact of your inclusion work. The course will...

• Inspire and share ID experiences
