ID Travels

How to start with inclusive international youth work? Where do you find the right partners, how do you create an inclusive environment, or what do you have to take into account for inclusive dissemination? The Strategic Partnership for Inclusion travelled around Europe to collect inspiration, tips, and tricks from youth workers that implemented projects in Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps. Watch the videos or read the one-pagers to discover their insights.

• 11 September (13h CET) > ID Talks Inclusive Partnerships (and project initiation) - The beauty of international youth projects is that we can learn from and with other organisations about inclusion and diversity.

  25 September (13h CET) > ID Talks Inclusive Preparation (of participants and teams) - Inclusion is a process that takes time and thought. In every activity, you can learn something new with and from the experts, team and participants involved. Though there is no one uniform model for all-inclusive and diversity-sensitive projects, one thing is uncompromisable: proper preparation of everyone involved in the project, from participants to experts, teams and local community. How to maintain inclusion as a core value when preparing our participants and teams? What can help us translate our values into practice? In this ID Talk, we will equip you with knowledge and tools to support participants and team members in developing their inclusion skills and working together for inclusive international youth projects. Guest speaker: Abderrahman Assorhani, Föreningen Framtidståget, Sweden

• 9 October (13h CET) > ID Talks Inclusive Administration (from budget to logistics) - When we plan an international youth experience in an inclusive and diversity-sensitive manner, we are sometimes worried that this could mean extra costs, administrative burden and impossible logistics requirements. So what special funding exists to support inclusive Erasmus+ youth and European Solidarity Corps projects? And what are the rules to follow? Have you considered making your projects more inclusive, but are you worried about the financial implications, managing logistics and bureaucracy? Do you want to make the best use of the available inclusion support? This ID Talk explores project administration through procedures and real-life examples. Guest speakers: Elzbieta Kosek, Kreisau-Initiative & Hanna Schuessler,  JEUGEND fur Europa, Germany

• 23 October (13h CET) > ID Talks Inclusive Learning (and programme design) - Getting in contact with other people and sharing experiences is a powerful way of learning. However, for this learning to happen, we need to plan it conscientiously. When organising inclusive international youth experiences, we should we create the space and give tools for young people and team members to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes. But we also need to support them to identify the learning and change they went through. How can we make sure that all participants of youth project have meaningful learning experiences? This ID Talk focuses on different ways to approach learning in inclusive international youth projects. Guest speaker: Aleksa Savic, Grupa Izadji, Serbia

• 6 November (13h CET) > ID Talks Inclusive Programmes (for youth from the European Union) - To conclude the autumn 2024 series of ID Talks, let’s connect the dots and draw some conclusions. How inclusive are the Erasmus+ youth programme & the European Solidarity Corps? How well have we been doing since the launch of the ID Strategy and throughout the current cycle of the EU youth programmes? This ID Talk identifies the programmes' strengths and weaknesses, and shares important ID lessons learnt for the future European youth programmes beyond 2027.
  It is based on the SALTO ID interim evaluation of the inclusiveness of the Erasmus+ youth programme and European Solidarity Corps and the contribution of the Inclusion and Diversity Strategy in enhancing inclusion in the youth field, in the period 2021-2023 (January 2024 Making EU youth programmes more inclusive - research report.pdf). Guest speaker: Gisele Evrard, Belgium
