Youth Integration Lab at the University Jaume I (Spain) from 16 - 18 March 2026

The Youth Integration Lab Inclusion and Intersectionality will address inequalities related to ethnicity, culture, gender, and affective-sexual diversities within the context of disability. It will focus on fostering inclusive practices across education and promoting inclusive and non-sexist language in communication. The event combines workshops, expert sessions, and cultural visits to provide a holistic experience for participants.

The Youth Integration Lab in Cagliari is dedicated to these skills and knowledge, and we have scholarships available.
