The Agency is organising a fourth European Hearing on Inclusive Education, which will bring together young participants with and without disabilities and/or special needs from all over Europe.
The ‘Inclusive Education: Take Action! Luxembourg Recommendations’ Hearing will take place in October 2015 within the framework of the Luxembourg Presidency of the European Union.
The event aims to give young people from across Europe an opportunity to make their voices heard. Over 65 young people nominated by the Agency’s member countries will participate in the Hearing.
The Hearing will give the 15-year-old students a platform to express their own views on their education, explain their needs and requirements and share their hopes for the future. They will present and share their personal experiences and discuss what inclusive education means to them, as well as what it offers them in their everyday lives.
The key terms for this event are empowerment and involvement. The Hearing aims to share the Agency’s findings with the young learners and, based on their perspectives, identify progress in the implementation of inclusive education policies since the first Hearing in 2003.
