This guideline is designed under our WAY2GO, Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership Project, for organizations looking to make their youth projects more inclusive and diverse. Whether you're new to inclusion or seeking to expand your reach, this document provides practical insights, answering key questions about where to find information, how to connect, and how to plan and implement truly inclusive projects.
Rather than rigidly defining "young people with fewer opportunities," this guide serves as a starting point for reflection, preparation, and action. It includes:
-Step-by-step guidance through different phases of a project.
-Basic information on disability and disability inclusion.
-Practical examples of inclusive project planning and execution.
-Tips for youth workers, project organizers and trainers on adapting methodologies.
-Logistical checklists to prepare for mixed-ability group projects.
-Sample daily program elements for mixed-ability groups, with adapted methodologies.

This is a living document, meant to evolve with new insights, experiences, and changing needs of young people. Inclusion isn’t just a goal, it’s an ongoing commitment to learning, adapting, and making sure everyone has a place in youth projects.

We hope this guide inspires and equips you to create more accessible opportunities for all. Welcome to the world of mixed-ability youth projects, enjoy the journey!
