Let’s save them until we agree on a common BIF definition of our own. What do you think?<br />Bengt<br /><br />"Inclusion is about membership and belonging to a community" <br /><br />"Inclusion provides children a miniature model of the democratic process" <br /><br />"Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into the systems and structures which exist in our societies, it is about trans-forming those systems and structures to make it better for everyone" <br /><br />"As inclusion becomes the focus of diversity work, the attention switches to the systems, policies and practices"<br /><br />"Inclusion is a climate where everyone brings their talents to the table" <br /><br />"The benefits of inclusion are two-way but most of us haven't experienced that yet. Segregation restricts our understanding of each other" <br /><br />"settings that develop inclusive cultures, policies and practices also raise achievement"<br /><br />"When we exclude people, it ultimately costs more than the original effort to include them"<br /><br />"Children who learn together, learn to live together." <br /><br />"Inclusion is responding positively to diversity and seeing individual differences not as problems, but as opportunities for mutual enrichment"<br /><br />"Inclusion is the most effective means of combating discrimination, creating welcoming communities and building a society for all"<br /><br />"Establishing or extending separate provision does nothing to identify and remove barriers in mainstream settings"<br /><br />"Inclusion encourages policy-makers and managers to look at the barriers within the system, how they arise and how they can be removed"<br /><br />"Inclusion change attitudes by encouraging people to live together in peace"<br /><br />"It is less costly to educate all children together than to set up a complex system of different types of schools specializing in the education of specific groups of children"<br /><br />"The move to inclusion does not happen overnight. The gradual change should be based on clearly articulated principles, which address system-wide development"<br /><br />"The move towards inclusion is not simply a technical or organizational change but also a movement with a clear philosophy"<br /><br />"Inclusion promote understanding, tolerance and friendship"<br /><br />"Human, economic, social and political reasons support inclusion; it is also a means to personal development and building relationships among individuals and groups"<br /><br />"All people have the right to participate. It is not our systems that have a right to certain types of people"<br /><br />"Inclusion goes beyond physical accessibility and fosters a sense of belonging, feelings of being valued, and support for all participants"<br /><br />"Inclusion is the philosophy that all people have the right to be together with their peers in activities throughout life"Lunds Integrations och Mångfaldsrundahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08191497906361636087noreply@blogger.com
