Our 'Inclusion and Diversity in Education' project unites policy makers in the field of education and inclusion, head teachers and young leaders (pupils of participating schools) from eight European countries and provides the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop best practice guidelines on building and developing diverse and inclusive schools.
Inclusion and diversity is a very topical subject these days. Pupils in schools are increasingly diverse: they come from different ethnic and social backgrounds and speak different languages. The aim of this project is to promote social cohesion, raise educational standards and build lasting networks which focus on the common challenges presented by immigration and cultural diversity to school education in the participating countries.
EUROPEAN YOUTH CHARTER ON INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN EDUCATION.
The Youth Charter was presented to policy makers and head teachers during the Brussels Conference in February 2008. It will form the basis of future initiatives and programmes aimed at establishing best practice in managing culturally inclusive schools.
