Education is at the core of European Union development. Depending on what type of education we can provide through our educational systems and schools, we can either promote a more competitive and integrated society –along the lines of the Lisbon Strategy- or, otherwise, a more unequal one. But what are the key elements of those systems, policies, schools and actions that may move towards this ideal? Over the last 30 months, the INCLUD-ED project researchers have gathered evidence observing these connections and will present them at the First INCLUD-ED European Conference.

The main objective of this Conference is to present the successful actions which are overcoming inequalities and promoting social cohesion in education and different social areas (employment, health, housing, political participation). Representatives of organisations that are already carrying out these successuful actions which are based on scientifically grounded research and demonstrate that equity and social integration can be achieved in European public policy, will also take part in this conference.

INCLUD-ED is an integrated project under priority 7 “Citizens and governance in the knowledge-based society” of the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6). The European Union faces the challenge of creating high quality educational systems and social policies that are more effective and equitable.
