Preface

The Workplace Social Inclusion paper is the result of the authors' collaboration within an Erasmus+ project, "SafeEngine-Blended Learning through Innovative Tools for Sustainable and Safety Engineering and Social Inclusion", nr. 2020-1-RO01-KA203-080085, implemented during 01.12.2020-31.05.2023.

Through the theme of social inclusion in the workplace, the book provides specialists from several interdisciplinary fields (pedagogy, psychology, special psychology, social work, law, management, economics, etc.) with general and specific information on the national and international legislative framework of the process of work inclusion of people with special needs, as well as intervention strategies aimed at facilitating and achieving the process of professional integration.

In the first chapter, Education for Diversity and Social Inclusion, the general framework of inclusive education is presented, which allows conceptual delimitations and understanding of the relationships between the basic terms specific to the field, as well as their evolution over time.

In the second chapter, National and International Legislative Aspects on Social Inclusion in the Workplace, the most significant national and international legislative documents regulating the social inclusion of people with disabilities are presented.

In the third chapter, Strategies for Social Integration in the Workplace for Different Categories of Socially Disadvantaged People, the strategies adopted with the aim of integrating people with different types of disabilities in the workplace are outlined.

In the fourth chapter, Active Citizenship, oncepts of active citizenship, characteristics of effective active citizenship, and examples of active citizenship in education are presented.

In the last chapter, Lifelong Learning Process, the benefits of lifelong learning, ways of approaching lifelong learning in life, ways in which lifelong learning drives the progress of countries and organizations, and strategies for implementing lifelong learning in various organizations are presented.

The publication of this book, through its content, structure, and examples of good practice, is an important contribution to the development of the field of inclusive education, a field that is characterized by continuous and rapid dynamics in education. Social inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace is an important indicator of the democratic process of social equity at the European and international levels.
