On September 16th, 2024, in Berlin, Germany, the final event of the INCLUDATE: Educating for Inclusion project took place, bringing together partners from six European countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Hungary). Over two years of collaboration, the project addressed critical issues related to the inclusion of individuals with fewer opportunities, particularly migrants, who often face intersectional marginalisation through ethnic discrimination and socio-economic disadvantage.
Project outcomes and focus
The INCLUDATE project aimed to promote social inclusion through education, with a particular focus on marginalised groups. Throughout the project, a series of events and trainings were held in cities across Europe, including Budapest, Gdynia, Palermo, Copenhagen, and Berlin. These events provided participants with hands-on experience and fostered active engagement in a variety of inclusion initiatives, reinforcing the project’s core goals.
Final event highlights
The concluding event in Berlin focused on reviewing the project’s achievements, facilitating discussions with partners, and engaging local civil society actors. Key sessions included workshops that featured 3 innovative methods for fostering inclusion: the “Walk of Life,” “Moments of Exclusion,” and “Community Reporting.” These approaches have proven effective in addressing social exclusion and can be applied in diverse educational settings to promote inclusivity.
ALDA is committed to fostering social inclusion and empowering marginalised groups through education and collaboration across Europe.
The event culminated in a panel discussion with two German civil society representatives who shared their experiences working with vulnerable communities, particularly African migrants and the LGBTQ+ community in Germany.
