YSI-ACT Toolkit

The YSI-ACT Toolkit is a practical tool designed to help youth workers, educators, and community leaders promote active citizenship, solidarity, and inclusion among young people. This tool uses non-formal education methods to promote critical thinking, empathy, and social engagement. It provides practitioners with methods to combat prejudice and stereotypes and foster more inclusive communities through activities, participatory techniques and innovative approaches like Forum Theatre, Participatory Action Research, Deep Democracy and Playback Theatre.

The aim of this instrument is to promote a generation of new socially conscious citizens by involving young people in talks on human rights, citizens’ participation, and solidarity. This toolbox provides readers with useful resources and introspective activities they need to set up areas of conversation, understanding, and cooperation, whether they are youth workers, educators, or members of a community group.
