Description

Do you want to learn more about organising quality inclusive projects? Would you like to share your own stories on inclusion? “YEE-nclude” will explore the topic of inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities in environmental activities.

Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) is organising the training course “YEE-nclude: inclusion in environmental youth projects”. The project aims to provide youth workers with knowledge and skills in addressing inclusion in order to organise quality environmental projects and activities that ensure equal support, participation and learning.

The objectives of the project are:

• To provide theoretical knowledge and practical competences to youth workers on the topic of inclusion;
• To explore ways that stimulate participation and volunteering in the environmental field;
• To share experiences and exchange practices in dealing with exclusion of different collectives;
• To explore appropriate non-formal educational methodology for working with young people with fewer opportunities (e.g. how can games be used for inclusion).

• Residing in one of the project countries: Albania, Armenia, Italy, Georgia, Germany,
  Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic;

• Experience with organising projects, especially if they are connected to environmental topics;
• Share and get experience on the topic of inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities;

  training and be committed to organising or supporting similar, follow up projects like this one.
