he Language of Inclusion" is an interactive matching activity designed for students and educators exploring the foundations of inclusive education. Through this exercise, players connect key concepts in English — such as equity, diversity, disability and the right to education — with their definitions, building both linguistic competence and a deeper understanding of inclusive educational policies in Colombia and around the world.

This activity is part of a pedagogical proposal aligned with the MEN 2022 guidelines on inclusion and equity in education.

🎯 Objective: Match each concept with its correct definition.
📚 Topic: Inclusive Education — Phase 3
🌐 Language: English
👥 Audience: University students and teachers in training.
