Project Summary: The project aims to aware children for the difference in human being. The research and creation of accessible ludic pedagogical products, to be used in primary classroom, will allow to increase knowledge about disability, which may promote social inclusion between children.

The consortium will promote significant learning to ALL. By working together it will be possible to produce accessible ludic-pedagogical products; test these products in real contexts through the supervised internships; validated them by two external consultants and, finally, to offer them to Leiria’s School Groups in an official event organized by Leiria City Council.

All the process will be developed according to the stages of a scientific research, including the dissemination of results both nationally and internationally in order to allow replication in different contexts.
