This article describes the experiential workshop INCLUSI carried out by a group of Italian teachers and educators which focused on promoting an inclusive perspective within the school environment. Using a methodology based on storytelling, learning by doing and cooperative learning. Participants shared their knowledge on story-telling and representation to co-construct their own vision of inclusion. Group reflection encouraged workshop participants to start from personal experiences and gradually build their own guidelines for a more inclusive pedagogy. The workshop culminated with the creation of a game on inclusion, which prompts teachers and educators to reflect together on how to respond to various emerging needs in the classroom. The game was designed to include an external observer whose role is to monitor interaction and communication within each team.
