Inclusive programmes in youth work have been developed at local and regional level, normally in the cooperation of local youth work actors (non-governmental non-profit organisations, leisure time activities centres) with their partners representing other sectors, such as education, employment, volunteering. 

National project KomPrax – Competencies for practice (Komprax - Kompetencie pre prax) was implemented by NIVAM – Slovak Youth Institute during 2011 – 2015. The total volume of finances provided by the European Social Fund was 6 million €, out of which 2 million € were used to finance small local projects (up to 200 €) prepared by the participants within their training. 

The project was aimed at quality development in youth work. As a result, the quality standards in youth work have been defined, making it possible to verify and recognise key competencies of youth workers and informal youth leaders acquired through non-formal education activities in youth work. Various education modules were developed within the project, aimed at several categories of youth workers, as well as youth leaders.  All the training modules, while dealing with identification of needs and intercultural learning, included the theme 'support of young people with fewer opportunities and excluded groups of young people'. A training module for Roma youth leaders active in youth work represented a specific project activity. Prior to the development of these training modules, a study on education needs was elaborated, with participation of youth workers engaged with various target groups.
