Impact

ECO-IN has the ability to produce a systemic impact on the different project countries by generating multiplier effects at local, regional and national level, involving more key players and stakeholders, obtaining further support from public authorities and producing awareness on the issue of inclusive education policies thanks to the visibility and diffusion of its results and achievement.

With reference to qualitative elements, the project is expected to lead to the following strategic impacts at systemic level:

• renewed culture of cooperation among the different stakeholders working in and with schools in Spain, Romania, Lithuania, and Italy thanks to the many structured activities jointly developed and the possibility of increasing the information flow among them throughout the ECO-IN implementation process.
  A new awareness about inclusive education by the community of practice at national and European level.
