In 2022, the International Network for Inclusion of Associazione Joint defined “highly vulnerable young people” as those who face at least two significant barriers in life, one of which is chronic, systemic, or particularly difficult to overcome. These individuals encounter challenges far beyond those faced by young people with fewer opportunities.

Young people across the world face a variety of challenges, but some grapple with obstacles so severe that they are left on the margins of society. For youth workers and professionals, understanding these barriers – and how to dismantle them – is essential to fostering true inclusion.

As youth workers and organisations active in the field of youth, our mission is to create spaces where every young person feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. We are excited to share with you: a guide to the definition of Highly Vulnerable Young People (HVYP) and a Collection of best practices for inclusion in Erasmus+ projects.
