The Inclusion Index Calculator is an innovative digital tool that helps youth organizations assess and improve how inclusive their practices truly are. Designed to combat tokenism and support genuine diversity, the calculator invites users to reflect on six core dimensions of inclusion, adapted to the realities of different youth organizations across Europe.
This self-assessment tool guides organizations in identifying areas where diversity is only symbolic and offers actionable insights to move toward meaningful and equitable inclusion. It was co-created with experts in diversity and youth work and tested by youth workers in real-world settings to ensure its accessibility, clarity, and relevance.
Each question has scored answers, allowing organizations to receive a percentage-based result and one of five inclusion levels (from “Very Low” to “Very High”).
The Inclusion Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Combating Tokenism is a comprehensive set of educational materials developed to train youth workers and educators in fostering real inclusion. It includes workshops, methodologies, and reflection tools designed to help professionals move beyond symbolic diversity strategies.
The toolkit is based on both expert input and grassroots feedback, and is adaptable to multiple groups including migrants, deaf youth, racially diverse youth, and others often underrepresented in youth spacesTokenism.
