OneWay – Seminar on Youth Inclusion is an Erasmus+ seminar for people who work with young people with fewer opportunities and want to make their daily work more inclusive.

Aim – To strengthen the capacity of youth workers to support the social inclusion, active participation and empowerment of young people through inclusive youth work, intercultural learning and international cooperation.

Objectives - By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to: - Name the main barriers young people with fewer opportunities face (economic, social, geographical, educational, cultural, health, disability) and compare how they show up in different countries; - present a good practice from their own work and adapt at least one practice from another country to their local context; - design and test with peers a non-formal activity that is accessible and adapted to young people with fewer opportunities; - recognise their own habits and assumptions that can lead to exclusion, and choose concrete changes for their daily work; - build contacts with youth workers, experts and stakeholders and develop at least one follow-up idea (a local action, a dissemination activity or a future project).

International conference – 25 November 2026

As part of the seminar, we host an international conference on youth inclusion, open to local youth workers, experts, institutions and organisations. Participants can join an open panel discussion or facilitate a 45-minute workshop on a method or tool they already use with young people. You don't need to be an experienced trainer – we are interested in real practice, not perfect presentations.

There is daily reflection time and all participants receive a Youthpass certificate.
