Thank you for considering submitting your proposal for the Inclusion In Action Conference. The Inclusion in Action Conference invites educators, school leaders, parents, and advocates to share ideas that strengthen inclusive Catholic education and reflect FIRE’s belief that everyone belongs. We are seeking engaging, high-quality presentations that combine sound expertise, lived experience, and practical strategies attendees can take back to their schools and communities. By presenting, you help ignite meaningful change—moving inclusion from vision to action in Catholic schools across the country.
