A seminar on inclusive education for learners with disabilities will take place on 16 November 2016 in the European Parliament in Brussels. The event is organised by Ádám Kósa MEP, in co-operation with Helga Stevens MEP, Silvia Costa MEP and the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education.
Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and Permanent Representations and representatives of key European and international organisations based in Brussels will attend the event.

Commissioner Tibor Navracsics will be the keynote speaker for the first panel. Members of the European Parliament, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the European Disability Forum and the Agency will discuss how European and international policies support inclusive education. A second panel, entitled Examples of Implementation of Inclusive Policies at National Level, calls for the input of national level policy makers from the Agency’s Representative Board members from Italy, Estonia and Scotland.
