    08:30 - 13:00 Breaking the cycle of disadvantage – Social inclusion in and through education

    There are still major differences in social inclusion within the European Union.

Policy makers, social partners, experts, researchers, and education and training providers will debate this issue at the conference. This two-day conference will put European, national and regional policy under the microscope, together with good practice models. Equality and inclusion across all levels of education are paramount.

    With the help of genuine artefacts, displayed in a surprising and impressive way, the visitor will travel around both Europe and the world. Interaction and amusement are scheduled from the time you jump out of bed!
