Writing for Inclusion

Writing for Inclusion (WIN) wishes to develop high quality and care systems in childhood education. The priority has been to sensitize very young learners towards care and inclusion. The book shows the learning modules to train teachers to tackle care in education within their classrooms. It also provides students with materials both visual and written to create texts both orally and in writing to advocate for inclusion through stories. As for digital competence, the book explores the possibilities of new technologies to engage in active citizenship. Inclusion practices to create inclusive environments, such as the integration of children with a disability or an awareness campaign for minority students are valuable because they stem from the concept of "Care", fostering empathy in 4th-year primary education students. This book is about building and implementing a methodology that interprets those special needs in four European schools and acts upon them through digital storytelling.
