🇵🇱 Erasmus+ Training Course in Poland ♿ Let’s Create Inclusive Activities 🌍 Inclusion and Diversity in Youth Work, Warsaw 🇵🇱
Are you a youth worker, trainer, or event organiser responsible for designing and facilitating group activities with overnight stays — and want to make them genuinely more inclusive and diversity-aware? This Erasmus+ Training Course in Warsaw, organised by the Polish National Agency and SALTO Inclusion & Diversity, invites you to reflect on and actively improve your practice. Over three full working days, you will explore barriers to participation, examine all aspects of inclusive activity design — logistics, methods, team, and communication — and leave with practical tools and concrete steps to implement immediately. The training itself is designed to be an example of inclusion in action. Single rooms, accessibility measures, and dietary adaptations all in place. Accommodation and food covered by the hosting National Agency. Deadline: 31 March 2026.
🇵🇱 Did You Know? Warsaw is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic capital cities in Central Europe — rebuilt almost entirely from scratch after being over 85% destroyed during World War II. Today it is a major hub for youth organisations, civil society, and European programme implementation, and home to the Polish National Agency for Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. The Mercure Warszawa Centrum, where this training takes place, is located in the heart of the city — within walking distance of the historic Old Town UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What Will You Do?
🔍Reflect on why inclusion and diversity matter in youth work — and how these priorities connect directly to your own organisation, practice, and identity
♿Become aware of the diverse requirements of participants and the wide range of barriers — physical, communicative, social, psychological — that can prevent people from feeling welcome and safe
🗺️Explore all dimensions of inclusive activity design — logistics, facilitation methods, team dynamics, and communication — and understand how to prepare for and adapt to different needs
🛠️Share and receive practical tools, methods, resources, and approaches that directly support the design and facilitation of inclusive and diversity-aware activities
✅Take concrete, actionable steps to improve your practice — leaving with specific changes you can implement immediately in your next activity
💻Join a short online onboarding meeting on 11 June (18:00–19:30 CET) before the residential phase — to prepare the course, connect with other participants, and get your questions answered in advance
