International Fair Of Good Practices And Tools In Erasmus+ Youth And European Solidarity Corps Projects In Inclusion And Diversity

This Fair arises from the perceived need among entities, beneficiaries, trainers, and program officials involved in Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps in Europe. Its aim is to enhance project quality through the exchange and analysis of the applicability of good practices and tools created and implemented within Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps projects with an inclusive focus.

This TCA/NET proposal is (in line with) part of the strategy of the Spanish National Agency, which aims to directly benefit groups and youth collectives facing significant barriers to accessing opportunities and experiencing various forms of discrimination: young people at risk of social exclusion and in need of financial support, those with educational and training difficulties, young women and mothers, LGBTQ+ youth, young people (of) with migrant backgrounds, diverse ethnic and racial origins, or from rural areas.

Furthermore, the Fair will serve as a meeting point for individuals responsibles for project management and coordination, mentoring, and the monitoring of inclusive practices in Europe, with the goal of solidifying and expanding an international network of entities actively engaged in the execution of Inclusion projects within Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps.
