On this web site you will find examples of policies, accounts of practice, stories, videos and more. All of these materials exemplify the suggested actions in the UNESCO Policy Guidelines on Inclusion in Education and show how people all over the world are working to strengthen the focus on inclusion in education which is recognised as a basic human right and the foundation for a more just and equal society. The Policy Guidelines stress that everyone can play a part: ‘Every initiative and action that stimulates more inclusive education systems is valuable and may play an important turning point in support of its further development.’
