The texts gathered here offer insights into working with the Inclutrain methods. They serve as windows opening up new vistas—personal examples that describe the challenges and successes of pedagogical practice. Behind every window lies a new story, a fresh impulse, and an invitation to try out new things yourself and adopt different perspectives. These texts can offer inspiration and guidance to anyone seeking new approaches and methods for person-centered vocational training for people requiring support. You can read the „windows“ in sequence, or simply jump from one to another. By following the texts marked with a ★, you gain a quick introduction to the key elements of the methods.

Table of Contents
1. Dive in!
When you pause for a moment and take your time to truly observe, you can experience those around you in a whole new way. It allows you to consciously notice the unique ways in which people act.
2. Impulse to act
The way someone does something reveals their personal impulse to act. This impulse to act can be expressed through verbs and illustrated by an image of a profession.
3. Artistic representation
Expressing the impulse to act through drawing or making music offers an opportunity to connect with others artistically. It is a nonverbal form of communication.
4. Living the learning space
Exploring the impulse to act inspires us to create new ways of fostering shared learning. By embracing a person’s impulse to act, we nurture their strengths and support their positive growth.
5. Teaching how to live in a learning space
Designing a learning environment that builds people’s skills and makes work motivating must be learned. How do Inclutrain trainers support these processes?
6. Inclusive vocational training
Exploring inclusive vocational training does not mean making a list of all your professional positions. Rather, it is about illustrating your professional development through concrete examples. This also reveals your impulse to act.
7. Inclusive dialogue
Several key aspects are central to inclusive communication. How do you guide someone? How can you get others on board with your vision? How do you empower others to engage in meaningful conversations?
8. Working together
Working together presents challenges that can lead to a lack of understanding among colleagues. Such situations can be addressed using the Inclutrain methods to identify positive aspects and shift one’s perspective.
9. Corporate culture
Four organizations provide insight into how the Inclutrain methods are integrated into their organizational development and what changes this brings about.
10. Project
Inclutrain is a combination of the terms “inclusion” and “training.” It means inclusive training. Inclutrain is the title of three inclusive Erasmus+ projects involving partner organizations from various European countries.
