The multipliers of the AC project ”Promotion of Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for All in Armenia” not only actively take part in different events organized within the frame of the same project, but also share their knowledge, experience and changes of their own paradigm with other students. Under the title: ”My success story”, we are going to introduce the individual experience of the mutipliers on how the inclusion has become a lifestyle.

It has been a year since I am a multiplier of the project “Promotion of inclusive and equitable quality education for all in Armenia” ran by Armenian Caritas.

The knowledge I have gained thanks to the project is innumerable. Although I had some ideas about inclusion before, I was a supporter of the concept of inclusive education, agreeing with the idea that everyone has the right to education, regardless of their mental or physical abilities, however, beining the multilier of the project turned my ideas to a knowledge. I can say for sure that the regular trainings, flashmobs and book discussions organized within the framework of the project have expended not only my but also my “front-line activist” friend-multipliers’ horizons and views on inclusion and inclusive education, allowing us not only to become small steps of the big movement, but also change the attitude of some members of the society towards that issue. The project itself creates an opportunity to make a change in the society, breaking the stereotypes and unsubstantiated stigmas rooted in it. If you can not change the world, change yourself. We can become the cornerstone of that change. Our goal is to create a society in which the education is available to everyone. The time will come when there will be no need of talking about the importance of inclusion and education in general.
