Thematic Chapters

Educational Approaches In Inclusion Youth Work

Inclusion youth work requires well planned educational and methodological approaches to develop not only a comprehension of new knowledge and skills but especially an open, democratic and critical development of attitudes of respect towards dignity and diversity.
This thematic chapter introduces the methodological approaches used in the inclusion activities tested by, for and with young migrants and refugees.
Responding to the diversity of contexts and groups, practitioners are invited to take these elements into consideration when using and adapting inclusion youth work activities.

Developing Cooperation Strategies

Developing youth work inclusion practices require well planned cooperation strategies. Stakeholders at local level are of paramount importance when promoting inclusion. The experience obtained through the strategic partnership project enabled partners to structure a cooperation and networking strategy at international level. This chapter details the steps of developing a cooperation strategy which is hereby based on four main steps: self-analysis, mapping stakeholders, managing resources and future planning.

Organising Living Libraries

Living Library methodology has proved especially valuable on the inclusion of young migrants and refugees in the local contexts of the participating partners.
The thematic chapter develops on the understanding of the methodology, the reasons why it supports inclusion and its diverse adaptations to multiple contexts.
This chapter provides an overview on the different formats that have been tested and gives orientations and guidelines for the organisers of the Living Library events.

Living Libraries As Inclusion Tool

Inclusion is a way towards Intercultural societies - ones where diversity of cultures is respected and valued. The Project addressed the challenges to inclusion of migrants and refugees through the Living Library methodology, which was also used as an inclusion tool for migrants and refugees involved in the Project.
