ACT-INCLUSIVE introduces ‘My Monsters' comic book for inclusive education

The ACT-INCLUSIVE comic book narrates the story of Mia, a girl with disabilities, and the difficulties she faces every day.

The comic book provides a fun to open up conversations about understanding, empathy and making sure everyone feels heard and welcome.
The book is a tool that can be used by teachers and educational professional to promote inclusive communication and education in the school environment among students. The comic book and its audiobook, with voice storytelling, are available here in English, Greek, Spanish, Slovenian, French, Hungarian and Galician.
