Reach
REACH Initiative
"We did not seek to organize yet another conference, but rather to contribute to the development of our country at a crucial time. Indeed, we are called upon to take a break to rethink our education system and, beyond that, an inclusive society in order to adapt it to the needs and expectations of all learners. In this context, we are convinced of the importance of scientific research in the implementation of inclusive education and of the role that this research must play in the improvement of our education system.
Together for Inclusive Educational Systems for a better world.”
