Abstract

Interrelationships and cooperation among students in regular classrooms among students who attend special needs schools has recently gained social visibility to be addressed by cities, countries and governments. In an effort to foster equality, solidarity and social inclusion, students participated in a gymkhana event involving sports and recreational activities and based on experimental research-in-action methodology. The activity was organized by actual high school students at the Sabadell Public High School in Barcelona, Spain and targeted to primary school students attending regular schools alongside students with special educational needs. The results of the activity were attained from ensuing reports and assessments by expert faculty and by the students, themselves, who hosted the activity. Based on the conclusion, this proved to be a significant and positive experience that served to promote inclusion which can be readily adapted other settings and users.
