Education

We want to let people know that inclusive education is good for everyone. 

Locking students away in a different room or restraining them otherwise - at school, this should only be used as a very last resort. The “In safe hands” campaign of our member Enable Scotland raises awareness about the overuse of these methods. Jordan McKenna, who works at Enable Scotland, told us more about the campaign.

Inclusion Europe’s member Perspektiva, together with the Best Buddies Russia foundation, has organised an exhibition called Here I am! at the Russian Duma (Parliament). The exhibition featured photos, videos, and stories about the lives of people with intellectual disabilities, including how they study, work, make friends, and dream.

This year Inclusion Europe wants to talk about education. We think that inclusive education is better for students, teachers and parents. Our member Enable Scotland wants all children to feel safe when they go to school. In many schools, children with disabilities are kept away from the other children. Enable Scotland started a campaign to stop this. The campaign is called “In Safe Hands?”. Jordan McKenna works at Enable Scotland. We asked Jordan some questions.

With our new campaign, we want to raise awareness about ongoing discrimination of students with intellectual disabilities, and get a discussion going on how we can make inclusive education happen everywhere in Europe!

The final event of the "Inclusive Campus life" project is taking place on 27-28 November in Brussels.

On 27 and 28 November 2019, there will be the final event for the ICLife project. The final event will be a conference in Brussels.

The term is beginning all over Europe, and yet many children and teenagers with intellectual disabilities don't have the right to go to school as other pupils.

Inclusion Europe jointly with other organisations urges ECHR to comply with the most recent international human rights laws, including the UNCRPD
