EENET is committed to facilitating the sharing of ideas on inclusive education. We also believe that ideas do not just have to be communicated verbally or in written form. Photographs, diagrams and drawings can all convey a message, and can be used to stimulate further discussions.

Image-based action research

EENET’s action research project made use of image-based methodologies to help teachers and community members to capture and reflect on their experiences of making education more inclusive. In our final report (PDF 993k) on the research project we provide accounts of the activities and suggested ideas and materials for others wishing to use ‘image-based reflection’.

Agra seminar diagrams and posters
Participants at an international inclusive education seminar in Agra, India in 1998 created a wide range of images. These include ‘mountain diagrams’ depicting the challenges, strategies and achievements on the uphill path towards inclusion. They also include posters designed by participants to present awareness-raising messages about inclusion.

If you would like to submit any images (drawings, diagrams, photographs, etc) which you feel help to illustrate inclusive education, and which you think might be useful for stimulating discussion and debate among other practitioners, please contact EENET. If possible, please provide a description of how you created the image (eg, during workshop activities with colleagues) and/or details of how you have used the image in your own work (eg, as a stimulus for group discussion).
