Themes and goals of the event:

Inclusive education – a road to social inclusion - the main aim of the seminar is to exchange „good practice” in the area of inclusive education/social inclusion, to discuss and share the understanding of social inclusion and related challenges, to establish networks and develop project ideas in given area. Reasoning: All EU countries face increasing radicalisation tendencies. Inclusive education is considered to be a key mechanism of social inclusion and access to quality education is one of the most important preconditions of social inclusion. Inclusive education can help to overcome poverty and exclusion – pupils from socially and/or economically disadvantaged environment have bigger chance to succeed after early intervention and assistance. It is inclusive education which offers more methods/tools for combating prejudice and xenophobia as well as the rise of extremist views. Teachers are among the first ones to observe first signals of students/pupils radicalisation. That’s why they should be equipped with skills which enable them to address such situation and provide general values to their students. „Peer learning“ and direct exchange among the teachers at EU level may help to identify the best practices in given area. Expected results: Participants will develop project ideas in School exchange partnerships and start preparing their project application during the contact seminar.
