Developing an inclusive education system is not only a matter of equal rights. Access to education can put persons with disabilities on equal footing with non-disabled persons, promotes diversity within the educational environment and creates social bonds between persons with and without disabilities. It is also a means for promoting education systems with an emphasis on achieving a common learning environment guaranteeing the presence, participation and achievement of equal outcomes for all learners. Moreover, equal access to inclusive education in the mainstream improves the employment and work prospects of persons with disabilities. The ALdia project will create an innovative, comprehensive and sustainable framework that will promote the equal access of disabled students and trainees to University education and vocational training. This framework will a) define student needs in both higher education and VET sectors, b) develop and implement a flexible, massive open online course (MOOC) for higher education and VET education professionals and c) validate the acquired expertise through certification that will be based on the ECVET principles, thus facilitating its use across Europe. ALdia will provide open, practical and sharable material for institutions to develop and deliver quality equal learning opportunities. It will also create synergies and encourage cooperation between education providers at all levels, in order to have a multiplier effect in Europe and beyond. Finally, it will provide evidence for policy-making that supports the development of learning environments that foster equity and inclusion. It will thus promote the aims of the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and the Education and Training 2020 programme (ET2020). ALdia is expected to a) generate genuine and sustainable improvements in the education and training system and policies and b) improve the situation of young disabled people regarding attainment, social inclusion and well-being.
