Inspired by CSIE’s Inclusion Week 2002, Rytmus, the NGO behind the Czech translation of the Index for Inclusion, and their partner organization Quip, Prague, are co-ordinating International Inclusion Week from 29 September to 5 October 2008. This initiative seeks to underline the importance of creating inclusive environments in schools, to acknowledge diversity and to look for ways to overcome barriers to learning and participation in all school communities. Pre-schools, schools, colleges and universities, non-government organisations (NGOs), arts bodies, government, commerce and other organisations in all countries are encouraged to join in Inclusion Week and put on their events as part of this international celebration. For further information please see the Inclusion Week poster (PDF Kb) or visit www.inclusion.rytmus.org and select your language from the options on the right. Do consider registering for this and putting on an event during Inclusion Week (many suggestions are listed in the website) and help make this event a truly international success. CSIE will be running a photo competition and hosting an open morning in their new office.
