SALTO Inclusion work 2008

Inclusion Capacity Building & Training

The SALTO Inclusion courses are highly appreciated, and many compete for few places. These training courses saw the light in 2008:

• "TC E.M.power" on how to use the European Youth in Action programme as a tool in a pathway to emancipate & empower Ethnic Minority young women, developing leadership skills and competences (May 2008, in UK - in cooperation with NA UK, NA Denmark and SALTO Cultural Diversity)
• "TC Image Building & Inclusion" - how to work on positive image building for disadvantaged groups (October 2008 - in cooperation with the Hungarian NA)
• SALTO Inclusion commits itself to the Inclusion Quality Charter for the organisation of its Training Courses

For the Inclusion officers of the National Agencies we have planned a follow up of the 2007 Inclusion Staff Training but in a different format:

• "Inclusion Colleague Support Groups" - small working meetings of Inclusion Officers of National Agencies discussing inclusion issues, sharing ideas and experiences. The first 3 were about:
• Catch your inclusion target group - how to reach out - hosted by Belgian Flemish NA
  How to deal with different stakeholders in the inclusion field - hosted by the French NA
  Get your inclusion strategy going - hosted by the Italian NA

SALTO Inclusion also supported NAs, SALTOs & NGOs in developing Inclusion activities (mostly with expertise and staff resources) e.g.

• "Doors Wide Open" (Flemish Belgian NA) outdoor methods for Youth in Care (Belgium, March 2008)
• YAP training course on EVS with young people with fewer opportunities (Hungary, May 2008)
• Youthpass -approaches for inclusion groups with SALTO Training & Cooperation

Inclusion Tools & Publications

As is common practice, all useful training methods from the SALTO Inclusion training courses & seminars were documented online in the Toolbox for Training & Youth Work www.salto-youth.net/toolbox/.

We continued to develop educational publications (Inclusion for ALL booklets) based on our training courses. This way more people can benefit from these tools than only the participants at the course.

• Village International Booklet - based on the Urban Youth Seminar (Dec 2007) - about setting up projects with and for young people from disadvantaged (sub)urban areas
• E.M.power booklet - based on the TC E.M.power - how to use the European Youth in Action programme as a tool in a pathway to emancipate & empower Ethnic Minority young women
• Inclusion by Design - an adaptation of the Shaping Inclusion guide for NAs specifically for youth organisations, so that Youth NGOs can also find guidance in working strategically on inclusion.
• We continued the development of a Good Practice folder on Inclusion, with inspiration from different projects - if you know any great inclusion projects, approaches or concepts (contact Ann Hendriks inclusion@salto-youth.net)
• Last but not least, we reprinted some of the Inclusion for ALL booklets that were out of stock

Translations of SALTO Inclusion Booklets

SALTO Inclusion promoted the translation of its Inclusion for All booklets into different languages - and also the Making Waves booklet. Different translations were started/continued - find an overview at:

SALTO Inclusion Website & Newsletter

SALTO Inclusion works for the whole of Europe - that's why we work a lot with the internet and email-newsletters, to reach as many inclusion workers as possible with limited resources.

• In 2008 we sent around 9 Inclusion newsletters to appr. 5200 subscribers.
