ELSiTO (Empowering Learning for Social Inclusion Through Occupation), an international collaborative partnership, with over 30 members from Belgium, Greece and the Netherlands, aimed to explore the nature and processes of social inclusion for persons experiencing mental illness. Members included persons experiencing mental illness and health professionals. Four international visits and local activities enabled a knowledge creation process that combined the experience of social inclusion as we lived and worked together with exploration of the processes of community projects, narratives of experiences and reflective workshops. Outcomes included identification and description of the following: the nature of social inclusion as lived by the participants; the critical elements that support inclusion; and the competences that are developed by all stakeholders during this process. The complex process of social inclusion is facilitated by doing together in environments that enable equality, trust, risk taking and realignment of power. These conceptual understandings of inclusion are discussed in relation to the ongoing activities of the partners, to their potential contribution to the education of occupational therapists (and other professionals) and to the development of socially inclusive occupation-based projects in the community.
ELSiTO（通过职业促进社会包容学习）是一个国际合作项目，有来自比利时、希腊和荷兰的30多名成员，旨在探索精神疾病患者社会包容的本质和过程。成员包括精神疾病患者和健康专业人员。四次国际访问和当地活动促成了一个知识创造过程，该过程将我们共同生活和工作时的社会包容经验与社区项目过程探索、经验叙事和反思性工作坊结合在一起。成果包括对以下方面的识别和描述：参与者所体验到的社会包容的本质；支持包容的关键要素；以及在此过程中所有利益相关者所培养的能力。在能够实现平等、信任、冒险和权力重新调整的环境中共同行动，有助于推动社会包容这一复杂过程。本文结合合作伙伴的当前活动、它们对职业治疗师（及其他专业人员）教育的潜在贡献以及社区中基于职业的社会包容项目的发展，讨论了这些关于包容的概念性理解。
