The educational series "Inclusive Youth Work" combines theory, practical tools, and life hacks that youth space workers need to know to effectively engage young people in their projects and activities. Throughout the series, we will explain how to be inclusive and work with vulnerable groups, including young people with disabilities.

You will learn how to create architecturally accessible spaces, establish barrier-free communication, and inspire young people to become leaders of positive change. We will discuss the feeling of safety in space, the barriers young people face, and ways to research their needs. To the series, we are adding a practical guide where you can explore the tools of inclusiveness in youth work in more detail.
