As part of the project, all partners collected good practices. In order to cover the whole field, the work focused on three target groups / three levels.

The collection of good practices and the analysis of data allowed us to look at existing experiences in different countries in relation to all target groups and at all levels, but with a particular focus on the international level.

A total of 333 good practices were collected and evaluated during the project. Most of them in English (278), but a significant number are also in Bulgarian (32) and Turkish (19).

Although some of the good practices are not in English, all of the descriptions are, and can be translated and adapted as needed (at the request of Asian partners).

Title of practice:	DEVELOPING INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS
Author/developer:	Anita Julka
Language:	English
Description of good practice:	Today, our major concern is that all children irrespective of their diverse social and economic backgrounds and variations in physical, psychological and intellectual characteristics must learn and achieve success in school. There should be no fear of discrimination, corporal punishment, abuse or teasing. The schools must plan their learning tasks and pedagogic practices in a way that all children are able to participate equally in the education process. It is important that a school must create an environment in which each every child feels happy and relaxed instead of feeling tortured. Schooling The real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education. M.K.Gandhi should not destroy sensitivity and joy and create fear and boredom. The present day education system must address all these issues and find solutions
