Click on image to download Unfortunately, quite a lot of people actually have the prejudices about inclusion groups. This takes away the opportunities of the young people without even giving them a chance. The inclusion groups that youth workers deal with in their organisations often don't have a good reputation. SALTO Inclusion hopes this booklet inspires youth workers accross Europe to create greater acceptance of people who are different, to build a better image for them amongst the general public. Combating these negative images is part of youth and inclusion work. This booklet aims to give youth workers practical tools and tips to improve the image of their target group. This way, they create greater acceptance of the young people in question, which will contribute to their inclusion in society. At the same time, the young people's self-image will be strengthened.

How to plan an image-building campaign Common campaign tactics, such as: public actions & events, lobbying & advocacy, media & image-building Inspiration for your campaign from the business world: branding & corporate identity, advertising How to involve the young people from your organisation in your image-building campaign.

 Practical tips and guidelines for inclusion youth workers who are tempted to take young people with fewer opportunities (socio-economic disadvantage) abroad for the first time. (2009 Update)
Click on image to download Are you a youth worker? Working with young people with fewer opportunities, socially excluded for whatever reason? Are you planning to run an international youth activity but feel your experience is not that wide? Then the "Going International - Opportunities for all!" booklet is for you! At various meetings with Inclusion workers (youth workers working with young people with special needs) and National Agencies, SALTO-Inclusion perceived the need to have a practical publication with concrete ready-to-use methods for youth workers who are on an international project with young people with fewer opportunities: practical hints, tools and methods that can contribute to the quality of the inclusion project. The aim of the "Going International" booklet is to document good practices & concrete working methods in international inclusion projects. It is a practical booklet with useful methods for youth workers taking young people with fewer opportunities on international projects. This way, we hope that inclusion youth workers, with little international experience will have it easier to start or carry out successful international youth activities with their target group. This booklet is part of the SALTO 'Inclusion for ALL' series. Check out the complete series at www.salto-youth.net/InclusionForALL/. The "Going International" booklet aims to be to the point (well indexed, short but clear), easy to read (pleasant layout and visual appearance, easy to find parts), easy to carry (not too many pages, smallish size),easy to reproduce (electronic pdf format for print-out, photocopy version) The "Going International" booklet offers to youth workers easy access to methods which deal with concrete situations that the youth worker might face when organising an international youth activity with young people with special needs. "Going International" contains tips, practical guidelines, concrete methods for including young people with fewer opportunities in an international project, such as in the preparation, travel, the intercultural dimension, meeting other people, etc…  Discover alternative educational pathways through EVS for young people with fewer opportunities. Set up more relevant task-sets outside the 'traditional' socio-cultural sector... (2009 Update)
Click on image to download Setting up Short Term EVS projects with young people with special needs is not all that easy and demands a clear commitment of all actors involved, especially from the young volunteer. Therefore SALTO Inclusion decided to focus on the support for this action and develop an educational publication which helps organisations to provide an EVS project that the young person really wants! "Use Your Hands To Move Ahead" booklet promotes and stimulates aninnovative educational approach to use ST-EVS as a personal pathway for the youngster with fewer opportunities. "Use Your Hands To Move Ahead" describes the educational pathway of ST-EVS projects for young people with less opportunity with a focus on aspecific task-set. The task-set is linked with work in the construction sector, gardening, restaurant, boat building, carpentry, sports, etc. This means that the educational value (learning skills and competences) for the youngster is to be found in the other elements of the project in its whole and not the specific task-set itself: the intercultural learning aspect, learning social skills, work attitude... "Use Your Hands To Move Ahead" diversifies the possibilities within Short Term-EVS and brings the concept of this action closer to the specific needs of the youngster itself.

Discover how to set up international youth projects with young offenders, ex-offenders and young people at risk of offending or currently in prison. Everybody gets a second chance, No Offence! (2010 update)
Click on image to download The target group described in this booklet are: young offenders and ex-offenders and those young people at risk of offending. A group which you will not find represented a lot in international projects and more specifically in the Youth in Action programme. There are many reasons for this. An obvious one is that the travelling possibilities for young people in prison are limited. Another one is that people working with this target-group have considerable doubts about if it's really possible to send this kind of young people on a European Voluntary Service-project to another country or to take a group of them on a Youth Exchange. A third reason could be that people simply don't know about the opportunities that the Youth in Action programme offers. The main reason for this booklet is that many projects done over the past years with this target-group have turned out to be successful. They not only showed that projects are very well possible with this group but they also made clear that the young people participating in these international projects profited to a great extend from these experiences. The impact of the projects often had a very positive influence on the lives of these young people. This booklet is part of the SALTO 'Inclusion for ALL' series.

Find out how to empower young ethnic minority women - in an international youth project. With information on specific methods and theories on empowering these girls - and how to overcome challenges.
Click on image to download E.M.power young women from ethnic minorities "There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women." - Kofi Annan The empowerment of women, and more specifically the empowerment of young ethnic minority women, takes us one step further in SALTO's advocacy role for young people with fewer opportunities. Examples of good (Youth in Action) practice demonstrate that young ethnic minority women benefit extremely well from the educational frame offered by the Youth in Action programme with many projects linkingempowerment as a process with emancipation as their final aim. Yet young ethnic minority women remain a group which is often invisible or underrepresented in international training courses, seminars and events. Empowered people have freedom of choice and action. This in turn enables them to better influence the course of their lives and the decisions which affect them. In order to give the opportunity to ethnic minority young women toempower themselves, as a group and as an individual, this specific target group needs specific support and methods. The Youth in Action programme is an excellent tool in order to reach this aim. This booklet is part of the SALTO 'Inclusion for ALL' series.
