Network themes
Four themes have been defined in order to guide the network’s efforts in working towards educational inclusion of people with disabilities and fighting discrimination in the labour market:
►Secondary education: to overcome specific barriers and address the challenges of integrating students in this level of studies.
►Transition to other levels of education: to ensure students with disabilities have access to higher education (university and vocational training) after secondary education.
►Transition to adult life and the labour market: to offer support mechanisms in social and communicative skills, lifelong learning, proper training and other relevant actions to improve employability and facilitate entry to and development in the job market.
►New technologies: to narrow the digital divide and increase participation of people with disabilities in the workforce.
To this end, the European Network on Inclusive Education and Disability is centered around the idea of working in specific cities, that develop a community of different players such as: local authorities, schools, universities, companies, public services or local associations who work together to promote initiatives among the diversity of actors involved in inclusive education and disability.
