Europe in Action conference on Inclusive Education – Lisbon, Portugal, May 2016
Inclusion Europe has partnered with its Portuguese national member Fenacerci to run an engaging event that will address Inclusive Education and the role of families in the promotion and implementation of an inclusive school.
The struggle for Inclusive Education is one of the areas where our organisations have been involved since their inception, considering that only schools built on diversity and interaction promote equality in person-centered responses, opportunities and responding to specific educational needs, with the ultimate goal of success of the educational process.
With this conference, we intend to address and reflect on some fundamental issues that have been at the core of the debate on inclusive schools, namely:
- enhance the role of families in terms of decision-making on education;
- safeguard the complementarity between the approaches that are made in the school and its projection in the family context;
- promoting models of empowerment and empowerment of families, so that they can take on effectively an intervening role in schools;
- how to streamline and facilitate sharing processes among all stakeholders (professionals, families and people with disabilities) in order to provide conditions that promote inclusion;
- how to organize and implement a school where education is both available to all and tailored to each one;
- think about the role of resource centres, to ensure operating conditions and financing to ensure their effectiveness;
- how can families promote and defend the necessary conditions so that education is not exhausted in the compulsory school cycle and extends throughout life.
