Lesson 1.1: Introduction to the concepts of social exclusion and inclusion 

In this lesson, you will explore the concepts of both social exclusion and social inclusion, learning how they manifest in society, particularly in the context of apprenticeships and vocational training. Social exclusion often leads to individuals or groups being marginalized, while social inclusion seeks to actively bring those individuals into full participation within their communities and workplaces. 

Understanding both social exclusion and inclusion is essential for creating environments that support everyone, particularly those facing disadvantages. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to describe these terms, provide examples, and recognize how they can impact vocational settings like apprenticeships.
