The seminar under the theme of "Youth Hostels and their contribution to social inclusion" was hosted by the Dutch-speaking Belgian Youth Hostel Association (VJH) and took place from 21st to 22nd February at Leuven Youth Hostel. It gathered 28 participants from 18 national Youth Hostel Associations from EU, Balkan countries and Central and Eastern Europe, as well as like-minded NGOs.

The seminar was well received by delegates and generated a framework for communication as well as a check-list to develop new strategies to implement social inclusion actions providing holiday opportunities/activities for socially disadvantaged young people and families.
