On 4 and 5 December 2023, the European Office organised a conference on inclusion in schools in cooperation with Prof. Michelle Proyer from the University of Vienna. The two-day event offered participants the opportunity to discuss international perspectives and the different stages of development of inclusion in schools and to exchange ideas in exciting, topic-related discussion rounds and workshops.
A highlight of the conference, in addition to keynotes given by renowned experts such as Prof. Rune Simeonsson (University of North Carolina), Prof. Mats Granlund and Prof. Lilly Augustine (both University of Jönköping), the I AM – Inclusive Assessment Map app was presented. The app was developed as part of the EU- funded project I AM with the aim of improving inclusion work in schools. The institutions involved in its development were the Universities of Vienna, Jönköping (Sweden), Tromsø (Norway), Porto (Portugal), Leipzig (Germany) and the Centre for Special Needs Education in Belgium.
