This paper aims to point out the importance of inclusive education for building social cohesion in a united Europe. Inclusive education is understood here as a model, the full implementation of which requires continuous efforts to adapt the educational system to the special needs of all children, especially those at risk of marginalization and social exclusion, including children with disabilities. Inclusive education is discussed through the prism of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which became the basis for the analyses. In the example of Poland, the key tasks for implementing inclusive education are indicated, starting with training teaching staff and ending with structural changes. An important conclusion is to show the fields of cooperation common to all EU member states, which can be effectively implemented and can contribute to strengthening the principle of equality and non-discrimination, not only in an educational dimension.
