A multinational exchange of experts on the topic of "Inclusion in youth work"\u201e<\/h5>\n

45+ youth work multipliers from 13 countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Germany, Georgia, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and Belarus) were guests at the wannseeFORUM from April 7th to 14th, 2015 and exchanged ideas on the topic of \u201eInclusion in youth work\u201c.<\/p>\n

By addressing mechanisms of social exclusion with the aim of counteracting them, youth work has long made an important contribution to inclusion. However, the question facing those involved in extracurricular youth work is whether their programs actually reach socially excluded young people and whether they are designed in such a way as to enable the active participation of everyone. Designing inclusive youth work ranges from structural measures to reduce physical barriers and the development of public relations strategies to changes in didactic and methodological approaches. While increasing efforts have been made in this direction in recent years, the daily work routine often lacks the time resources required to acquire the necessary funding and, above all, to initiate self-reflective processes.<\/p>\n

The main objectives of the exchange of experts were:
\n1) Raising awareness among professionals and multipliers about the situation and needs of socially excluded groups;
\n2) the examination of the concept of "inclusion" and the development of one's own attitude towards inclusion;
\n3) Reflecting on one's own role in the exclusion\/inclusion of young people;
\n4) the acquisition and further development of skills required for inclusive youth work, such as sensitivity to the need to subject the methods used in one's own practical work to continuous reflection;
\n5) the utilization of existing methods for inclusive work with diverse target groups (traditionally affected by exclusion);
\n6) the development of new methods for inclusive youth work;
\n7) Networking of participating professionals and multipliers in youth work with the aim of developing and offering inclusive projects for young people at the European\/international level.<\/p>\n

The results were used to create a digital handbook for practical application.<\/p>\n
