The 13th edition of the International Tool Fair will take place from the 12th (arrival) to the 16th (departure) of November in Split, Croatia.

The focus of this year’s edition aims to develop – also through innovative approaches, pedagogies and practices – the quality and variety of tools for learning that will empower young people to create inclusive diverse communities they live in.

Participating in the Tool Fair XIII is an opportunity for participants to shape educational and experiential pathways, to run a workshop and to share tools for learning (http://educationaltoolsportal.eu/en/tools-learning-non-formal-education) with colleagues in an international context, as well as to participate in workshops conducted by their peers. Beyond merely experiencing a wide variety of tools for learning, the Tool Fair aims to provide a space to reflect on tools, give and receive feedback, pave the way for their transferability and further development.

This way, the Tool Fair XIII aims to enhance capacity building skills of the participants and to contribute not only to the learning outcomes of each individual participant but also on the quality of tools for learning and learning process at European level, complementing the two educational tools websites managed by the SALTO-YOUTH EuroMed & Good Practices Resource Centre: the Multilingual Educational Tools Portal (http://educationaltoolsportal.eu/) and the SALTO-YOUTH Toolbox for Training and Youth Work (http://www.salto-youth.net/tools/toolbox), in coherence with the European Training Strategy.

Overall aim of the 13th edition of the International Tool Fair:

To promote quality in youth work and support capacity building of those working for youth empowerment

To develop – also through innovative approaches, pedagogies and practices – the quality and variety of tools for learning aiming at inclusive and diverse community of young people
To contribute to the educational and experiential pathway of each participant, particularly in relation to the competences of creating and using tools for youth empowerment
To contribute to the overall European Training Strategy in the framework of “European Union’s Strategy for youth: investing and empowering” through SALTO Tools for Learning
