Overview of Inclusion and Exclusion

I think inclusion is, no matter what your background, race, culture, that you are all treated the same way and with the same respect.

Inclusion assures each citizen the opportunity to fully participate in realizing aspirations. Inclusion relies on active civic participation to identify the barriers to access and to ensure that people have a collective sense of belonging to their society.
