Shaping Inclusion and Diversity - how to implement youth projects that are more inclusive, diverse and reflect the ID Strategy?
A year into the new cycle of EU Youth Programmes and the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Inclusion and Diversity Strategy in place, SALTO Inclusion & Diversity Resources Centre offers a series of ID Talks under the motto “Shaping Inclusion and Diversity” to support organisations in implementing youth projects that are more inclusive, diverse and reflect the ID Strategy.
“ID Talks” is a series of 5 online workshops on 5 major topics in the promotion of Inclusion & Diversity (ID) and quality youth work. It features youth workers, professionals and volunteers, from all over the world to share insights, research findings, food for thought, good practices or inspirational stories. They will guide participants through the pressing matters and challenges affecting Inclusion & Diversity and inspire them to make their programmes and organisations more inclusive, embrace human differences, look ahead and picture how the future of youth work and Inclusion & Diversity might be.
Each workshop begins with the input from a guest speaker. After, participants have the opportunity to engage in the discussion, ask questions, and share about their own realities and experiences.
Every other Wednesday, at 1 PM CET, from 23 February until 20 April. Check the FB event here!
Fill in and submit the registration form.
Registered participants will receive a link to the Zoom meeting a week before each session takes place.
