The broad objective of the two day workshop is to contribute to developing new tools, strategies and approaches to influence classroom curriculum, pedagogy, school management towards the development of inclusive classrooms, schools and systems, such that those currently marginalized are able to participate fully in the education – across the spectrum -- and access their constitutional right to education of an acceptable quality.
The themes of the two day workshop is given below:

· Caste/Class, Ethnicity Classroom and Marginality
· Home, Classroom and Children
Here we would like share with you that the proposed workshop is part of our long term sustainable programme on Classroom Curriculum, Pluralism and Social Inclusion: Voices from the Margin. In this regard we are going to organise and facilitate this process in the seven states of regional capital and five regions of the India. These are as follows:
