The course builds an inclusive practice through sharing knowledge and reflection among teachers, trainers, psychologists and managers. 
​
Upon completion of the course, participants will use reflective instruments to develop learning strategies, techniques and resources through a range of practical activities, case studies and hands on activities, aiming at enhancing participation, learning and achievement for all students in sustainable educational environments.

​Methodology and assessment:
  
The methodology includes practical training, exercises, role-playing, cooperative work, various activities and discussions. The content is based on "learning by doing” combined with “reflection upon action”.

The course focuses on including all learners in a diverse school community. It provides additional resources and ideas to implement inclusive education strategies and practices. Inclusive education is seen as a process of strengthening the capacity of an educational system to reach out to all learners in the community.

The course has a holistic approach:
- Practical experience in different educational settings, digital education methods and tools; 
- Reflection on the development of priorities and planning interventions to support diversity (e.g. curricula adaptations, design of differentiated lessons);
- Transfer in own realities and share of best practices in working with students through digital resources.
