Policy Recommendation
2. Ensure Rigorous Evaluation of Inclusive Tools and Practices
Throughout the A.M.O.R. project, 72 good practices were evaluated by project partners, revealing
variations in observations and interpretations of comparative indicators. This highlights the
importance of assessing tools and practices with input from a diverse range of stakeholders, including
representatives from the target group(s), and testing them in different educational contexts.
Furthermore, it is essential to consider fundamental accessibility requirements—such as internet
connectivity for digital tools—during the evaluation process to ensure that inclusion is meaningful in
practice.
3. Raise Awareness of Existing Inclusive Tools and Practices
The A.M.O.R. project demonstrated that many effective tools and practices already exist to promote
inclusivity and accessibility in education. However, greater efforts are needed to raise awareness of
these resources so that educators and institutions know where to find them and how to implement
them effectively. This will help avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts and encourage knowledge-
sharing and best practice exchange. Additionally, information about these tools should be more easily
accessible, with clear guidance on where to seek support. Increasing awareness will also contribute to
broader public understanding of disabilities and special educational needs, fostering dialogue and
promoting inclusivity.
4. Foster a Safe and Inclusive Learning Environment
A truly inclusive learning environment enables all individuals to share their ideas, knowledge, and
concerns without fear of exclusion or discrimination. Learners should be encouraged to express
themselves in ways that suit their abilities and preferences, whether through speech, written
statements, or digital tools. Creating such an environment ensures that learners feel comfortable
providing honest feedback, which is essential for the continued improvement of inclusive educational
tools and practices.
