Inclusion Training for Trainers

Aims & objectives

- To make (existing) trainers aware of exclusion factors that keep some profiles from participating in training activities.

- To develop and exchange about approaches to make training activities more inclusive for diverse target groups.

- To learn and share methods to tackle ‘inclusion and diversity issues’ in training courses (stimulate participants to be more inclusion/diversity minded, giving them tools).

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

Group: 23 trainers from programme countries and partner regions working with NAs (or NGOs) on making their courses/activities more inclusive - wanting to go deeper regarding inclusion & diversity.

Team: Morgaine Green, Henk Persyn and Vanessa Moreno (trainers). Tony Geudens (SALTO I&D). Katrina Vitola (Latvian NA)

Training methods used & main activities

- We used interactive non-formal learning methods.

- We started from your experience as a resource: successes, failures, etc.

- Connected to the local context: how Latvian organisations tackle I&D.

Outcomes of the activity

- There was an online follow-up sessions (colleague support groups) to check what happened since the course and discuss any ID experiences.
