A practically relevant inclusive leadership approach was developed within the context of the EU project ‘Inclusive Leadership - a new approach towards reinforcing and developing members of disadvantaged groups’. Project was a common initiative of School For Leaders Foundation from Poland, alp activating leadership potential from Austria and EU-Fundraising Association from Germany. The main goal of the project was to increase the effectiveness of the development programs for the individuals from the disadvantaged groups by elaborating an innovative approach of inclusive leadership and introducing it into the practice of the leaders of those circles.The long-term goal of the project is to contribute to the increase of social competences and readiness to develop people from disadvantaged groups (migrants, refugees, people from rural areas and people with disabilities).The School for Leaders is an institution that cares for quality of public life in Poland and Polish Diaspora. Our mission is to support the development of civil society through training and support of leaders who perform their activities within the public sphere in NGOs, local government institutions and political parties.alp is a European network of professionals who are passionate about leadership and learning. alp members combine academic and practitioner backgrounds and experiences in the field of education, personal and organisational development from all over the world. alp brings together different perspectives and approaches in order to contribute to leadership development.The EU-Fundraising Association e.V. (EUFA) is a European oriented organisation that actively promotes European exchange. Registered as a non-profit organisation in 2010, the association is a fast growing network of more than 100 individuals and organisations. EUFA, therefore, actively supports the professionalisation of European cooperation between stakeholders.As part of the project three tools were developed to accompany those interested in inclusive leadership on their journey towards being an inclusive leader:Online Tool for a low-threshold first taste of the topic of inclusive leadership and an initial self-assessment of one’s own practice, as well as recommendations for the next steps to take.Handbook – Theoretical Framework with comprehensive information for a more detailed insight into the topic, as well as support for applying inclusive leadership in day-to-day practice.Manual for Trainers with numerous exercises and a model curriculum to support you when carrying out workshops on inclusive leadership.Within 17 months of the project several activities have been implemented: transnational project meetings, 2 trainings for 31 participants with the goal of developing the competences of raising inclusive leadership approach, several feedback rounds with experts as a support in developing educational tools.Project results have been promoted through 3 events: seminar in Vienna, seminar in Berlin and international conference in Warsaw.The inclusive leadership approach focuses particularly on collaboration with those who have any form of disability, have an immigration or refugee background, or live in remote areas where there is limited infrastructure or access to information.The practical examples and interviews that are part of the working materials, as well as the experts that were consulted in the development of the inclusive leadership approach, come from the fields of work mentioned above and ensure that the inclusive leadership approach is directly related to real practice.It is possible to transfer this approach to work with further target groups or in other work contexts. This has already been practically and successfully attempted during the project. For this reason, it is possible for us in reference to the developed approach to inclusive leadership to talk about a leadership approach that is generally applicable in social and economic contexts.Impact of the project:- Raising the competencies of trainers, educators of leaders in the Inclusive Leadership concept and its application in educational work among disadvantaged groups- Strengthening the competences of 3 organizations in the field of teaching inclusive leadership and conducting educational processes in disadvantaged environments- Organizations participating in the partnership have become the authors and experts of an innovative method of preparing leaders to work in disadvantaged environments - the maintenance of the access through the internet to the intellectual products elaborated as part of the project.In the long-term perspective,the increase of social competencies and the readiness to develop and the empowerment of the people from disadvantaged groups, the introduction of the IL approach into the practice of the leaders of disadvantaged groups, the improvement of the quality of activities with regard to the disadvantaged circles.
