INTRODUCTION
The VISION:INCLUSiON project aims at enabling young people with disabilities to participate in international youth work as a matter of course. Too often this is not yet the case, also be- cause organisations and initiatives are confronted with many challenges when planning and implementing inclusive international programmes. The Training modules support organisations, initiatives, youth workers and trainers in their capacity building for inclusive projects. International youth work includes pedagogically supported programmes that enable young people and youth work specialists to encoun- ter and learn in international contexts. The offers include youth exchanges, work camps, voluntary services and exchanges of specialists. The topics of the programmes can be very different and are primarily oriented towards the interests of young people. Target group - Who are the modules aimed at? The modules are aimed at youth workers, facilitators and organisations who have already some experience in organising international youth projects and want to develop inclusive international youth work activities. Experienced youth workers in the field of inclusion re- ceive new impulses and in-depth information.
Alternatively, the modules can be completed in the form of a workshop for other youth workers or team members. Some additional material is provided for this purpose.
Tips for facilitators
Use a non-frontal approach when working through these modules together with young participants:
Don’t “teach” them; instead, give them learning opportunities so they can find out more about diversity and disability and learn from each other. Encourage them to engage in reflection and self-reflection so that they can draw their own conclusions. Be there to answer their questions. Help them to find the answers themselves.
While the activities focus on disability, they occasionally also touch upon general diversity aspects and various dimensions of diversity.

Toolbox - How to work with the modules The training curriculum is divided into six modules, each with a different focus. This booklet describes the didactic process behind the modules, together with some basic information on each subject. Each module is supplemented by numerous materials such as fact sheets, ac- tivity descriptions, checklists, videos and specialist texts. These materials can be easily identified by the green arrow and the icons, e.g. è Factsheet 1.1.
You can access the materials via this link: https://t1p.de/sheets (pdf-document)
All materials and resources allow users to self-direct their learning by reading, working through the online resources and completing small exercises. The modules build on each other. You can complete the whole training course or choose individual modules should you wish to cover just one topic.
