Inclusive Learning Strategies is an Erasmus+ Training Course which aims to increase active participation and involvement of young people in learning processes, through the creation of educational environments, using non-formal education methods.

The project also promotes cooperation between the NGO sector and the formal system, in order to facilitate and enhance the transferability of know-how between non-formal educational programs and the formal education system, aiming to form a network of YWs capable of using these methods to carry out activities in cooperation with formal education.
