White Book on Inclusive Science Education : Towards promoting an inclusive approach in science education
(2024)- Abstract
- This document has been developed to provide practical resources to policymakers, institutional representatives, and educators, by offering a diverse range of examples and recommendations at various levels to support the implementation and enhancement of ISE.
The White Book is founded on the theoretical framework of ISE developed throughout the Communities or Sciences (C4S) Towards Promoting an Inclusive Approach in Science education project. It is based on an extensive analysis of previous initiatives, European Union (EU) projects in this field, and insights gained from various C4S workshops and working groups. These forums, conducted both online and offline, facilitated discussions on ISE matters with experts and members from...

The White Book is founded on the theoretical framework of ISE developed throughout the Communities or Sciences (C4S) Towards Promoting an Inclusive Approach in Science education project. It is based on an extensive analysis of previous initiatives, European Union (EU) projects in this field, and insights gained from various C4S workshops and working groups. These forums, conducted both online and offline, facilitated discussions on ISE matters with experts and members from different target communities such as Roma, migrants, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, diverse gender identities, and women scientists. Moreover, it incorporates the outcomes derived from the pilot activities carried out in eight EU countries. All these
activities provided a solid foundation for the recommendations delineated below.
However, it is crucial to emphasize that this White Book is an integral part of an ongoing co-construction and co-participation process in which the C4S project represents only one of numerous significant social actors. Consequently, this document does not aim to provide a rigid set of instructions accompanied
by strict roadmaps. Instead, it offers adaptable heuristics that must be customized to fit specific situations, thus remaining open to discussion and deviations from the original ideas. Moreover, to ensure the robustness of these recommendations, a thorough review process has been conducted that involved collaboration with members of the participant communities as well as institutional representatives, policymakers, and members of the C4S Advisory Board who contributed their ideas, insights, an feedback to both the original document and its recommendations.
