Everway branded background

A new chapter begins…

The Festival of Inclusive Education is back, and it's better than ever.

We’re still the team you know and trust, but with a new name: Everway (formerly Texthelp). Our mission is the same: to build a world where everyone can understand and be understood.

Let’s shape the future of education together.

We’ve listened to your feedback, and built this year's festival to be even more practical, inspiring, and action-driven.

This year’s theme, Education for Everyone, reflects our vision of truly neuroinclusive learning. Of learning environments where differences aren't just accepted - they’re recognised, valued, and championed.

Expect sessions focused on:

Strategies and tools for supporting dyslexia

Practical Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approaches that work

Using AI to support diverse minds

Leadership strategies that drive inclusion

Meet the speakers

The Festival of Inclusive Education returns in 2025 with its biggest lineup yet. 

Featuring innovative thought leaders, EdTech champions and experienced educators, the Festival brings together new ideas and practical tips for driving student success. Get ready to learn, connect and be inspired.
