Handbook on the Inclusion and Support of Highly Vulnerable Young People in International Non-Formal Learning Programmes is a practical guide created to make international youth opportunities accessible, safe, and inclusive for marginalized young people.
Developed within the LADDER project, it helps youth workers and organisations answer a key question: how can international programmes truly reach and support those who need them most?
The handbook combines essential theory with concrete tools, methods, exercises, and reflective questions that can be applied directly in practice. Its thematic chapters cover intercultural diversity, solution-oriented and trauma-conscious approaches, safe learning environments, abuse and bullying prevention, risk management, psychological wellbeing, and first aid.
Built on the shared experience of project professionals, the manual serves both beginners and experienced practitioners as a long-term resource.
At its core, it promotes the belief that international learning should be an opportunity for every young person – especially those facing the greatest barriers.
