This webinar is part of our campaign for Inclusive Education.

DSi is working with our global member organisations to advocate for long term systems change towards full inclusion.

We are running a pilot campaign in the United Kingdom and aim to use the processes, resources and materials developed to have a positive impact on other education systems around the world.
