Abstract(s)
Understanding the term “inclusion” is a challenge today. Contemporary society assumes a diversity of
definitions in order to clarify the various aspects that constitute this domain. This, in an attempt to
correspond to the globality that the concept of inclusion entails. However, applying “inclusion” in a real
context and effectively, specifically, social and digital inclusion for students with intellectual difficulties,
is a real challenge, because in addition to forcing a paradigm shift in the context where the experience
is inserted, it adds a sense of responsibility and adaptability in the institutions and human resources
that perform their profession in them. In this case, it is about the creation of a unique model in Portugal
of training in Higher Education, to train students with intellectual difficulties who want to continue their
studies, improve their social, professional and digital skills and, above all, enhance a set of skills,
attitudes and behaviours essential for their social and labour inclusion in the labour market. It is further
added that this model is only possible with the addition of formal and academic education to the nonformal and informal education component of each student. This means that it is necessary to ensure
that this training model is fully adapted to the social, pedagogical and emotional needs of each
student, and it is essential to situate and understand the importance of two agents involved in this
process: (i) families, who are the starting point for the motivation of this target audience and
(ii) volunteers, who are from stakeholders, technicians to trainers and other students.
