The “Inclusion Mixer” project was a Training Course for youth workers aiming at increasing competences in the pedagogical development of
activities dealing with Social Inclusion Education by using non formal education methodology. Theme of the project is consistent with the
important European issue - social inclusion. In the training time we had possibility to discover what is inclusion and what is social
inclusion, the involvement of social inclusion principles, their origin and how they are respected and protected by the European countries. An important part of the program were devoted to the analysis of social
inclusion, respect and protection in different European countries. The participants and the team was invited to share their experiences,
not only with knowledge but also with the necessary materials and skills used in dealing with the development of the principle of social
inclusion in their educational activity and daily work with young people.
