Improving Inclusive Education: the Turin Model of Collaboration between Schools, Universities and Communities

The training course Expert in Inclusive Educational Processes, developed by the University of Turin, addresses the growing need for qualified trainers in the Specialisation Course for Support Activities (CdS). Grounded in Disability Studies in Education (DSE), the program reframes inclusion as a strength, fostering skills such as cultural awareness, organisational agility, relational expertise, and strategic thinking. Initial evaluations highlight its transformative impact, enabling trainers to inspire future educators to integrate inclusive principles into practice. This initiative exemplifies how targeted professional development advances inclusion, aligning with national and international educational priorities.
