The integrated, inclusive, action driven, make-it-happen attitude and experience orientated education, the individual pathways to learning, building personal strategies and the support of employment on the labour market is a grand challenge for me, at the same time I find the idea and the significance of inclusion elevating. The experience I gained verified my commitment in the realization both on institutional (organisational), classroom, lesson and on individual level. 6
