SALTO Inclusion and Diversity in Youth, along with SALTO Inclusion and Diversity in Education and Training, organized the ID Kitchen Training Course. The online event was held from the 16th to the 18th of October and had two aims: (i) to support non-inclusion officers to develop their competences related to inclusion & diversity issues and approaches; (ii) to maximise the results and impact of their national agency’s (NA) inclusion work.

Through this training course a space was provided for NA staff from youth, education and training and cross-sectoral NAs to get familiar with ID concepts and gain better understanding of the ID issues. It also helped them become better equipped to support their colleagues (ID Officers) and beneficiaries, as well as exchange ideas, share practices and reflect on the values and aims of the their work.

The 4^th edition of the training will be held from the 5^th to 7^th February 2024, so stay tuned!

Eurydice report Promoting diversity and inclusion in schools in Europe examines the current national/top-level policies and strategies aimed at enhancing diversity and inclusivity in school education.

The report offers a comparative overview of policies and measures across the educational systems of 39 European countries and provides various country-specific examples that highlight some of the most recent initiatives implemented throughout Europe.

Its primary emphasis is on students who face a higher likelihood of encountering disadvantages or discrimination in school environments, such as students from diverse migrant, LGBTIQ+ students, those with special educational needs or disabilities, etc.

Eurydice is a European network dedicated to sharing and providing relevant data on education systems and policies in 39 countries, thus supporting European cooperation in the field of lifelong learning and education.

Upon invitation from EACEA (Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency), an agency of the European Union responsible for managing various funding programs and initiatives related to education, culture and audiovisual content, SALTO Inclusion and Diversity participated in the 3rd online meeting of the EACEA Inclusion and Diversity Network. Josip Luša, Head of SALTO Inclusion and Diversity, delivered a presentation and highlighted the accomplishments and initiatives undertaken by the resource centre since its establishment.

SALTO’s input laid the foundation for future cooperation with EACEA as both sides explored shared goals and interests and discussed collaboration possibilities. With a view to promoting and enhancing inclusion and diversity in the projects and activities managed by EACEA, SALTO presented a number of useful tools and publications that are already available on its official website, as well as its plans for 2024. Discussed in greater detail and deemed as particularly useful were tools and publications related to establishment of a network of inclusion and diversity ambassadors, development and update of inclusion and diversity strategies, digital accessibility and inclusive event organisation

To effectively address access challenges and raise awareness of inclusion and diversity options and support mechanisms, EACEA has developed a comprehensive Inclusion and Diversity Action Plan, supported by a dedicated network of inclusion officers.

An agreement was reached to keep the EACEA Inclusion and Diversity Network in the loop concerning future SALTO activities and developments, in particular upcoming meetings and trainings.
