“Inclusion in Action” : The Culture of Acceptance in School

A few words about the program:

The program is aimed at primary education teachers from both mainstream and special education. Through carefully selected films, experiential activities, and creative dialogue, the program brings together children with different experiences and abilities. The central thematic axes of the films are empathy, cooperation, and a culture of acceptance and equality in the school environment. The program includes materials for educators featuring film presentations and fundamental principles for how we talk to children about disability and inclusion without prejudice.

Why Choose This Specific Program?

Because, through the selected films, educators and students learn basic accessibility tools (SDH subtitles, Greek dubbing, Greek Sign Language interpretation, audio description, sensory processing, and social stories).

Because, through the preparatory educational workshops that precede the screenings, teachers prepare the two different audiences for their cinema experience. For mainstream education schools and typically developing children, through games and interactive exercises about how the senses function. For special education schools, the educational workshops focus on introducing students to cinema on equal terms. Through this process, students from special education and mainstream education meet in the same cinema and watch the same films together!

Because it bears the scientific seal from accessibility advisors liminal and TheHappyAct, and was scientifically evaluated by professors from the Department of Primary Education Pedagogy at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA).

Teacher Testimonials About the Program:

“It is a beautiful inclusive approach that, with its experiential nature, captivates educators and students pleasantly!”

“Children are filled with fear about disability, and rightfully so, because people with disabilities in our system are invisible and abandoned. By living alongside them, they see that disability is a social construct.”
