Youth Workers United for Inclusion

This training course will help youth workers to find out how to promote Inclusion, by using non-formal education methods. We want to bring together both experienced and unexperienced youth workers that are motivated and willing to learn. The aim with this TC is to provide the opportunity for youth workers to develop their competences in a safe environment where they can practice different methods.
