Inclusive education courses for teachers
Make every learner feel they belong. Erasmus+ courses in Bordeaux on differentiation, accessibility, Universal Design for Learning and inclusion across Europe.
Plan your Erasmus+ mobilityEvery classroom is diverse, and every teacher wants each student to succeed. Our inclusive education category brings together Erasmus+ courses that turn that intention into practice, with concrete, sustainable strategies for teaching all learners, whatever their needs.
Designed for teachers taking part in an Erasmus+ mobility, these courses in Bordeaux combine practical tools you can use on Monday morning with a broader European perspective on what inclusion can look like.
Why inclusive education matters
Inclusion is not an add-on; it is good teaching for everyone. When lessons are designed to be accessible from the start, when differences are anticipated rather than patched over, and when the classroom climate is warm and predictable, all students learn better, not only those with identified needs.
Our courses draw on the work of the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education, and translate its principles into everyday classroom practice: differentiation, universal design for learning, accessibility and wellbeing. The emphasis is on small, sustainable changes rather than exhausting overhauls.
Who are these courses for?
Inclusion concerns every classroom, so our inclusive education courses for teachers welcome a wide range of participants: subject and class teachers at primary and secondary level, special educational needs coordinators and support staff, teaching assistants, school leaders, and educators from vocational and adult settings. No prior specialisation is needed, only the wish to reach every learner.
Because groups deliberately mix roles, subjects and school levels, you learn as much from your peers as from the trainer, and you return with approaches that work across the whole school rather than a single classroom.

- Build a positive, inclusive classroom climate.
- Compare and learn from inclusive practice across Europe.
- Lead inclusion initiatives with your colleagues and school.
How our courses work
Every course in this category follows the same clear, practical rhythm: each morning introduces a principle or method, and each afternoon puts it straight to work on real lesson ideas you design and test with fellow teachers. You experience the methods as a learner before adapting them as a teacher, and you leave with concrete materials rather than notes.
Courses run over one week in small groups, in English, with trainers who are practising educators, alongside a cultural and social programme. You receive a Europass Mobility certificate and a certificate of attendance for recognition by your National Agency.
Inclusive strategies you will take back
These courses are deliberately concrete. Among the ready-to-use strategies you will practise and take home are:
- Tiered tasks that let learners reach the same objective at different levels of challenge.
- Flexible grouping and cooperative structures that widen participation.
- Universal Design for Learning checkpoints, offering choice in how students engage and show what they know.
- Visual supports and predictable routines that reduce cognitive load and anxiety.
- Low-preparation scaffolds and formative checks that catch difficulties early.
- Calm-classroom techniques for behaviour, attention and wellbeing.
Each strategy is tested on real lesson examples during the week, so you leave with a personal toolkit you can use immediately and share with colleagues.
