Today we attended Grassroots Education's movie session.
Mai Katagiri with her team organised the event.
The movie was very interesting, on the Intergration of special needs children and how they can fit into the school system with caring teachers and support.
Watching a few individuals go through the school year, starting out not wanting to attend but slowly understanding that they are surrounded by friends they start taking responsibility for themselves.
The movie really highlighted for me that if regular students understand they will have empathy and accept.
Where at another school other students would think that the special individual is a hindrance or strange.
In the case of the school we were watching the other students of the class listen and see that the special individual has a unique outlook too.
It's great to see this D&I happening in primary schools.
