A higher level of inclusion
We are building a ladder for marginalised young people to enter the inspiring and uplifting world of international experience.
The LADDER to Inclusion project will open up opportunities for highly vulnerable young people to participate in Erasmus+ international mobilities, thereby increasing their personal development and improving their social position.
We are developing comprehensive and sustainable solutions to break down barriers, improve the quality and effectiveness of youth work, and make Erasmus+ mobility programmes more inclusive.
