Equality, inclusion and diversity are core values of youth work in Europe. However, many vulnerable young people in the Eastern Partnership countries have limited access to the four major aspects of inclusion: education, healthcare, employment and civic participation. The youth inclusion gaps in the Eastern Partnership countries are covering a broad spectrum of dimensions, from gender rights to the rights of people with disabilities.

Given this context – InclusiON NOW! – the Online Course for Youth Workers in the Eastern Partnership countries aims to offer an opportunity for professional development to a group of youth professionals in the Eastern Partnership countries who work in the area of youth inclusion.
