Youthpass offers young people, youth workers and youth leaders an exciting new way to recognise, understand, document and demonstrate the learning that takes place within Youth in Action activities. Early experience with this tool has shown that while Youthpass offers tremendous potential, it is not always easy to implement. Some young people, and particularly those from fewer-opportunity backgrounds, may not have the experience, maturity or cognitive skills needed to recognise or understand their own learning processes. These young people need extra support in the Youthpass process... But how, specifically, can this be done? "YouthPass for All" provides some initial answers. This booklet is ia companion to The Youthpass Guide and is aimed specifically at youth workers and/or youth leaders who use European youth activities as part of their work with fewer-opportunity young people. "YouthPass for All" presents advice, tips and methods from youth workers who have used Youthpass "in the field". The booklet then goes on to examine how the process of looking at learning outcomes can be expanded beyond Youthpass into a more comprehensive competence-based approach to youth work. This booklet is part of the SALTO 'Inclusion for ALL' series. Check out the complete series at www.salto-youth.net/InclusionForALL/.

Why Sport?Sport is a lot more than just physical activity. While sport can help young people develop healthy lifestyles it can also teach valuable life skills and help with an  individual's personal development process. This is especially true for young people with fewer opportunities. Sport methods and outdoor activities can help youngsters in this target group to develop a wide range of social skills. In this way sport helps these young people become much more than fit - it can help make them truly "Fit for Life".
 
Fit for LifeThe Fit for Life booklet is based on the outcomes of the SALTO "Inclusion through Sport" training courses (2004). This practical booklet aims to inform youth workers, youth leaders and European institutions of thevalue of sport as an educational tool for the fewer opportunity target group. The theory behind using sport as a method is made concrete throughreal-life examples. An extensive list of methods is also provided to help youth organisations take the first steps towards implementing sport as a learning method on local as well as on European level. This booklet is part of the SALTO 'Inclusion for ALL' series. Check out the complete series at www.salto-youth.net/InclusionForALL/.

Design your Inclusion Strategy?Does your organisation work with fewer-opportunity young people? Do you have a clear vision of where you are trying to help your young people to go? Do you feel like your youngsters are being successfully "included" into society? If so... is this inclusion happening by chance... or by design? "Inclusion by Design" is for anyone interested in learning more about how a strategic approach can help to improve the quality and impact of their inclusion work. This booklet presents a step-by-step approach to strategy-making which can be used by youth organisations both large and small. Developing an inclusion strategy should be a motivating process, not a heavy chore. "Inclusion by Design" aims to make strategy development more attractive and accessible and to give organisations the feeling they are doing more than just "going through the motions" in their daily work. The approach to strategy-making and the methods described here are not only relevant to the field of inclusion but can be used by anyone in almost any context.

​​Inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities has been a priority in the European Commission's youth programmes from the beginning. With the new Youth in Action Programme (2007-2013), a new European Inclusion Strategy has been developed to ensure accessibility of the Programme for ALL.
 
The SALTO Youth Inclusion Forum, and a parallel Virtual Inclusion Forum in October 2006, gathered a great variety of inclusion experts and practitioners who gave their feedback and recommendations on how to increase social inclusion in European youth work.
 
This booklet collects the findings of the participants and contributors at this Inclusion Forum and a number of practical proposals for the work with different groups of young people with fewer opportunities. It already triggered changes in the Commission's Inclusion Strategy and SALTO Inclusion's work for the near future.
