By combining inclusion and participation, the editors are setting a new focus in the inclusion debate. Internationally and nationally renowned scholars discuss the topic of "Inclusion and Participation" from a variety of discipline-specific perspectives alongside representatives of good practice. The volume provides both a framework for orientation and a basis for discussion for academia, administration, and practice on a politically significant key issue in education. Central aspects of inclusive educational practice are discussed, as well as the interplay between participation and inclusion, and ways are shown on how the guiding principle of "Inclusion" can be integrated into early childhood education practice and local educational planning to ensure that all children have equal social participation and the best possible educational opportunities.
