11 February-8 April | Online

ID Talks is a series of 5 online workshops on 5 major topics to promote inclusion & diversity (ID) and quality youth work. It features youth workers, professionals and volunteers, from all over the world to share insights, research findings, food for thought, good practices or inspirational stories. They will guide you through the pressing matters and challenges affecting Inclusion and Diversity and inspire you to make your programmes and organisations more inclusive, embrace human differences, look ahead and picture how the future of youth work and Inclusion and Diversity might be. Each workshop begins with an input from guest speakers. Afterwards, you have the opportunity to engage in the discussion, ask questions and share about your own realities and experiences.

In spring 2026, the ID Talks will explore what intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational dialogue are and how youth work can address them. We want to:

• create space for exchange,
• explore established and emerging ways of building constructive dialogue between generations,
• review existing practices and
• reflect on the role of youth work in fostering positive interactions between individuals and groups of different ages, often shaped by diverse values, beliefs and cultures.

This series will guide participants through the concepts of intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational dialogue – what they mean, why they matter and how they are relevant in today’s societies. The ID Talks will unpack the core elements of intergenerational practices, as well as their potential and limitations. The series will also address current challenges affecting intergenerational relationships beyond the youth work field and invite participants to reflect through an intersectional lens. The ID Talks aim to inspire youth work to act as a space where respect and dialogue between generations are actively cultivated and sustained.

These talks will take place very other Wednesday at  13:00-14:30 CET, from 11 February 2026 until 8 April 2026.
