I-STEP Network brings together organisations that believe more inclusive societies are built through collaboration. Members in 41 countries on six continents share expertise, develop practical methods and create learning resources that strengthen inclusion in education, employability and participation.
Collaboration within I-STEP takes place across four complementary areas of work. Together they help organisations design, test and share practical solutions that strengthen inclusion in different contexts and communities.
Access, representation, accessibility, equity and meaningful involvement are considered in all four. That is what the I stands for.
Inclusive competences for personal, civic and professional growth, including practical ways to recognise, communicate and apply learning.
Explore I-TInclusive learning processes, capacity building and toolkits for educators and practitioners.
Explore I-EInclusive connections between learning and work: mentoring, guidance and competence validation.
Explore I-PInclusive approaches that enable people, communities and organisations to influence the decisions that affect them.
ExploreThe four core areas are designed to work together rather than in isolation. A collaboration may begin in any one of them and naturally expand into the others as new needs emerge. Members combine the areas according to their objectives, partners and communities, rather than following a predefined sequence.
Every member contributes to the collective capacity of I-STEP Network. Together, these figures reflect the expertise, geographical presence and reach that support collaboration across the network.
