Dys in Youth Field improves youth work, empowers adolescents with SLD to fully participate and increases awareness for an inclusive environment.
CONTEXT
Importance of inclusive youth work
Ensuring accessibility and visibility for young people with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD) is important in creating an inclusive European youth work environment. This project aims to equip youth workers with the necessary tools and training to empower SLD youth, promoting equal participation and raising awareness among young people, youth NGOs, and institutions.
Challenges in youth work for SLD inclusion
Current youth work practices often lack adequate resources to engage young people with SLD. Many activities and training programs are not adapted to their needs, which limits their ability to fully participate to it. There is a need for gamified and digital tools that make youth work more inclusive and foster a supportive learning environment.
Project “Dys in Youth Field”
This project focuses on developing innovative and engaging resources tailored to the needs of SLD youth. It will create an inclusive framework that enhances participation and understanding of SLD in the youth sector by offering gamified and digital solutions, and comprehensive training for youth workers.
