# The Equity Compass
The Equity Compass is a reflection tool produced by the [YESTEM project](https://yestem.org/) in the context of engaging young people with science, with the aim of supporting socially just practice. The tool helps partners to reflect on how they work with underserved young people and to think about how they might introduce more participatory approaches, improve professional development and better articulate where they want to be going.
The Compass is made up of eight different dimensions describing a different aspect of equity, which are designed to help you think and discuss equity from a different perspective.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://inclusivity.toolkit.citiobs.eu/dialogue/how-can-we-engage-with-the-concepts-of-equity-diversity-and-inclusion-edi/...by-preparing-for-an-internal-dialogue/the-equity-compass.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
