NYCI intercultural and inclusion programme of activities for 2011
Our work for 2011 has included:
- Establishing a Support Network of equality and inclusion champions
- Continuing our North South youth work
- Supporting practice seminars
Equality and Inclusion Support Network
The key strategic approach in 2011 is the establishment of an Equality and Inclusion Support Network with key participants from NYCI’s member organisations. The members of the Network will together, and through their various organisations, work towards promoting and embedding an equality and inclusive approach in all youth work provision.
The first task undertaken by the Network was to do a mapping exercise, looking at current organisational practice and setting achieveable goals.
North South youth work
NYCI works to the greatest extent possible on a North South collaborative process through its partner Youthnet NI.
Currently they are developing the diversity toolkit, Access All Areas, into an All Ireland resource.
We are working on development of a framework for Quality Inclusive Practice in volunteer led groups
We also work on the Equality and Inclusion Support Network together
Practice seminars
Sharing practice
As part of its North South collaborative work NYCI have been involved in a number of All Ireland practice seminars. The reports on these are posted below. Watch this space for announcements of future seminars.
