About
InclusiveByDesign
InclusiveByDesign concerns the potential of new forms of social
exclusion, which may emerge in the course of the move towards the knowledge
economy and society. InclusiveByDesign is based upon the hypothesis
that proactive approaches in the design and development of technology
(e.g., as promoted by the principles of 'design for all') will contribute
to combating social exclusion in employment, vocational training, and
education, while meeting prevailing economic constraints and needs (e.g.,
economic efficiency). Consequently, the project strives to identify
best practice examples of proactive measures towards inclusion, and
as a result, it will promote recommendations on realistic frameworks
of policy measures and initiatives to stimulate, facilitate or support
these proactive measures towards mainstreaming employment, vocational
training and education.
