The Issue Paper on Gender Equality in and through Education has been produced within the framework of the European Commission’s Working Group on Equality and Values in Education and Training (2021-2015).

One of the current challenges facing this process is how it can be implemented and assessed.

In order to understand the reason why we decided to collect those mobility experiences among learners with disabilities into a catalogue and how the inspiring practices selected are relevant to the Make It Happen (MIH) project, let us now clarify the aim of this work.

In this catalogue we have identified 10 inspiring practices in line with the MIH project's aims and in some way relevant to the MIH partners.
