FIESTA will address the practical steps & resources required by professionals in SEN across EU member states to ensure inclusive education.
Activities
Network outcomes include transferable tools such as the self-assessment tool, transition starter kit, 3 training modules and video learning to name a few, these can be used for pupils with special needs and for other pupils who may be particularly vulnerable during transition periods.
