The Congress in Lisbon in 2015 is particularly timely in this respect. It occurs just over 20 years after the publication of UNESCO’s groundbreaking Salamanca Statement that challenged educators everywhere to work together in order to overcome the barriers that leave some of our children feeling marginalized or even excluded.
The beautiful city of Lisbon will provide a wonderful setting to share experiences and learn about developments that are happening internationally. The programme of professional and social events promises to be both stimulating and enjoyable. I look forward to taking part alongside many friends and colleagues from around the world.
