Key to Inclusion

E-learning / 18-21 January 2021 | Online, Sweden

You will learn more on how you can work with inclusion of youth with fewer opportunities through volunteering projects. You will also receive an understanding for how these projects are an effective tool to support youngsters with fewer opportunities.

Key to Inclusion III is a training course in the frame of European Solidarity Corps and the 3rd and last edition of a series of training courses that took place in Slovenia (2018) and Croatia (2019).

The concept Key to Inclusion was created to encourage, support and develop inclusive projects in the frame of the European Solidarity Corps programme. The focus of the programme is to include youth with fewer opportunities. The definition of fewer opportunities are young people who needs additional support due to the fact that they are at a disadvantage in comparison to their peers.

The current European Solidarity Corps programme period for 2016-2020 is reaching its last phase. Being convinced that inclusion will continue to be an important feature within the new programme from 2021, it is crucial to continue promoting and supporting inclusive projects.

The aim of the European Solidarity Corps is to support young people to get competences through non-formal learning and activities that promote solidarity. The programme also gives organisations the opportunity to actively engage and work with societal needs.

The training objectives are:

• to give organisations that work with inclusion, the opportunity to learn about the features and frames of the European Solidarity Corps in order to implement inclusive projects;
• to give organisations with experience in the programme, the opportunity to learn more about how to implement projects with youngsters with fewer opportunities.

The learning objectives:

The participants will receive an understanding on how European Solidarity Corps can be a tool for inclusion of youth with fewer opportunities and will be able to start planning a volunteering project.

The target groups of this training are organisations who:

• work with inclusion in general, or with inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities and want to explore how to use volunteering as a tool in their work;
• have experience of Quality Label and/or volunteering projects within Erasmus+ and/or European Solidarity Corps and want to explore how volunteering projects can support inclusion.
