One must add some of the conclusions from the feed back offered by the participant students and the teachers who implemented or assisted the demonstrative inclusive lessons.

From the students’ feed back: - they stated that the lessons were a bit different from the ordinary praxis and they brought new, interesting and involving activities; - they liked the activities and they are interested in working this way; - they liked to work in teams and helping each others; - they felt relaxed during work; - they appreciated the way the teacher helped them whenever necessary; - they liked the fact that they had to learn by playing, using their imagination and creativity, communicating

From the teachers’ observation grids: - the lessons contained involving activities for all the students; - they could notice inclusive elements during the lessons and the fact the inclusive students worked according to their possibilities, being encouraged and helped both by the teacher and the students; - they noticed techniques learnt during the TLT events applied in practice during the demonstrative classes; - the lessons attracted the student’ attention;

An inclusive approach in schools asks for important changes at organisative and managerial level. The general objectives that the partner teams proposed at the beginning and accomplished during the implementation of the project proved the fact that we have succeded in building a new vision and in daring to change something to help the students in need.
