Synergies for Inclusion

Intercultural Education, v36 n2 p202-217 2025
Classrooms in Europe are becoming increasingly more diverse. While many policies and practices have been adopted to ensure that schools can create inclusive environments for their diverse students, a broader approach to education is needed to ensure that it responds to the background and family context of each child. Close collaboration between schools and non-formal educators (NFEs) has been shown to provide benefits by addressing specific needs that schools cannot support, or by bringing the school closer to the child's culture and family. While benefits of such collaboration are more and more often recognised, policies to support collaboration between schools and NFE are lacking. This paper provides an overview of efforts made across Europe to connect schools with NFEs, for the specific purpose of ensuring the inclusion of migrant children.
