"The conference is a part of the research and development project A School for All: Development of Inclusive Education. The project aims at developing inclusion in schools and teacher education through school-based development work and research, with a particular focus on learners who are vulnerable to exclusion. (...) The conference addresses three thematic areas:
1. Whose inclusive education? In this theme different understandings of the concept of inclusive education and values related to inclusion in education will be debated. Perspectives to the debate may come from different approaches to inclusive education.
2. (Teacher) education for inclusion. This theme focuses on theoretical approaches and practical examples, as well as administrative issues, of addressing and responding to diversity in sites of education across educational levels.
3. Working towards inclusive schools. This theme is explored through experiences in schools."
