La idea de situar a la escuela como motor social, hace recaer sobre la misma una responsabilidad que debe ser asumida con rigor y con valentía por parte de los distintos sectores que conviven en el contexto escolar.La Inclusión es tarea de todos, precisamente una de las claves de este proceso se sitúa en lo coral que deben ser todas las decisiones y acciones orientadas a conseguir y mantener contextos inclusivos. De ahí que palabras como colaboración, convivencia, reconocimiento, corresponsabilidad, son ideas que definen el proceso, siempre en marcha, siempre inacabado, hacia la inclusión. Desde el mismo momento que pensamos que hay personas o grupos que pueden ser excluidos, discriminados, que desde parámetros de justicia social es necesario orientar acciones para evitar esa segregación, estamos dando el primer paso hacia la inclusión. Si solo nos planteamos la inclusión como una meta, si pensamos en la dificultad de conseguir los recursos y que por ello no podemos avanzar, si nos quedamos en la idea que la inclusión es costosa desde el punto de vista económico. Estaremos quedándonos en las puertas.Desarrollar prácticas inclusivas, supone creatividad, iniciativa, empatía, confianza, cooperación, formación. El recurso principal es la propia persona. Transformar la realidad educativa, tiene un primer paso: transformar las “cabezas” de las personas implicadas: profesorado, familias, agentes sociales e instituciones. Sin olvidar en ningún momento la participación y el protagonismo del alumnado.La realidad está ahí, no es solo un bonito sueño. Basta con extender el brazo para alcanzarla. Pero ¡Alarga el brazo de una vez! No esperes que llegue sin tu participación, sin tu esfuerzo, sin tu implicación, sin tu compromiso. Y sí, claro está, también con tus sueños y tu esperanza.Este libro pretende acercarse a la realidad de la inclusión, abriendo puertas. Para ello desde un primer bloque de corte más reflexivo, en los siguientes se afrontarán realidades inclusivas desde distintos focos: la diversidad cultural, la diversidad funcional. Y, en este mundo marcado por las tecnologías, no podemos dejar de lado hablar sobre la aportación desde ese ámbito al proceso inclusivo.

Poet, pattern-designer, environmentalist and maker of fine books, William Morris (1834-96) was also a committed socialist and visionary writer, obsessively concerned with the struggle to achieve a perfect society on earth. News From Nowhere, one of the most significant English works on the theme of utopia, is the tale of William Guest, a Victorian who wakes one morning to find himself in the year 2102 and discovers a society that has changed beyond recognition into a pastoral paradise, in which all people live in blissful equality and contentment. A socialist masterpiece, News From Nowhere is a vision of a future free from capitalism, isolation and industrialisation. This volume also contains a wide selection of Morris's writings, lectures, journalism and letters, which expand upon the key themes of News From Nowhere.

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
