text: "In this paper, a group of nine international scholars reflect on the\r\ncollective
responsibilities of stakeholders within inclusive educa-\r\ntional settings. This
reflection was prompted by the need to identify\r\nspecific elements which would
support intentional, collective\r\nresponsibility to support authentic inclusion
for all students. In\r\norder to engender this collectivist mindset, mirroring
the metaphor\r\nof the nurturing village, the group conducted a qualitative study\r\nbased
on structured and semi-structured dialogue, written reflec-\r\ntions and previously
constructed research to inform a framework to\r\nsupport inclusivity more collectively.
Results suggest that nurturing\r\nspaces, empathetic relationships, supportive
networks and targeted\r\nteaching, all contribute to bona fide inclusion, especially
if this\r\nresponsibility is shared and cohesive. Data further revealed that\r\ninclusivity
is a values-driven process which flourishes when all\r\nstakeholders subscribe
to common values and tenets regarding\r\nsocially just educational provision.
The authors inculcate the vil-\r\nlage-mindset, a now popularly received notion,
reinforcing the\r\nneed for active and deliberate dialogue focusing on shared
respon-\r\nsibilities and vision. In this paper, we intend to reiterate the need
for\r\neducational systems which foster more collective, compassionate\r\nand
nurturing inclusive practice in educational settings."

text: "Research in inclusive education reveals multiple studies that explore the
efforts of individual stakeholders to create an equitable educational experience
for students with disabilities. However, these individual efforts are often examined
discretely, compartmentalising the contributions of various stakeholders. As a
consequence, the complex interplay between these contributions has not been fully\r\nexplored,
with the capacity for a rich network of support being assumed rather than explicitly
constructed. This report draws on the personal reflections of nine academics in
the field of inclusive\r\neducation from Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, Italy,
and Switzerland. Serving as both contributors and participants, this study draws
together their personal interpretations and their exper-\r\ntise regarding the
value of collective and collaborative inclusive education. Inductive thematic
analysis of participant reflections yielded the view that stakeholders working
together within an educational setting, offers more effective and appropriate
opportunities to support learners with additional needs."
