More than two hundred schools in Europe and more than four hundred schools in Latin American are implementing Successful Educational Actions (SEAs) that are contributing to academic success of diverse students. Among this diversity we find pupils with learning difficulties and with disabilities. In this article, we review the contributions that two SEAs –Interactive Groups and Dialogic Literary Gatherings– are making to improve academic and social learning for all students, and especially for those with more difficulties. We focus on the type of interactions that these SEAs promote among pupils, with teachers and other adults from the community. Particularly, our emphasis relies on the impact that these interactions have on their learning and on their participation within the group, to show how these SEAs contribute to an inclusive education.
