Inclusion Ambassadors (Students) in the School Environment

Inclusion Ambassadors Etiquette

My colleague… your place is among us.

Program Overview

Classmates are the heartbeat of the inclusion experience at school. The way they interact and show respect determines how much a student with a disability feels a sense of belonging and safety. Acceptance and support from peers build a healthy school environment that helps everyone learn and grow together.

About the Program

This program is designed to promote a culture of acceptance, respect, and humane interaction among students, while correcting common misconceptions about disability. Through interactive and age-appropriate activities, students learn how to start conversations, offer help in a respectful way, avoid bullying, and build genuine friendships based on mutual understanding. The program aims to reinforce the idea of “one team” working together to ensure an inclusive environment for all students, grounded in understanding and authentic human connections.
