European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education

The European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education (EASNIE) is an independent organisation that acts as a platform for collaboration for the ministries of education of its member countries. Its work focuses on supporting the development of inclusive education systems to ensure every learner’s right to inclusive and equitable educational opportunities. This enhances learners’ life chances and possibilities for actively participating in society.

EASNIE member countries’ shared ultimate vision for inclusive education systems is that all learners of any age are provided with meaningful, high-quality educational opportunities in their local community, alongside their friends and peers. Therefore this vision is the focal point of all EASNIE work. See this vision explained in an infographic and a short video.

EASNIE aims to help member countries improve their educational policy and practice, by combining the perspectives of policy, practice and research in order to provide evidence-based information and guidance on implementing inclusive education. This video explains how EASNIE works with its member countries.
