Circle U., a European university alliance, has initiated the INCLUDE Webinar Series to foster inclusion, accessibility, and equity in higher education. The series, which commenced on March 31, 2026, comprises online sessions and an in-person Summer School, focusing on inclusive teaching, neurodiversity, and innovation in education.
The INCLUDE Webinar Series offers three thematic tracks: Creating Inclusive Teaching and Learning Practices, Creating Inclusive University Working and Teaching Environments, and Fostering Inclusive Practices in Innovation. These tracks cater to students, educators, staff, and facilitators, exploring inclusive pedagogies, equitable institutional practices, and innovation-driven approaches to diversity and inclusion.
The webinar series addresses key challenges such as neurodiversity, providing a platform for discussion and exploration of inclusive teaching practices. By combining academic perspectives with lived experience, peer learning, and practical tools, the INCLUDE Webinar Series aims to foster a shared culture of participation, belonging, and social responsibility across universities and beyond.
The INCLUDE Webinar Series is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable education system, where every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
"The in-person Summer School, scheduled to take place from July 6 to 10, 2026, at the University of Pisa, is open to participants who have attended at least 75% of the online sessions. This opportunity enables students and staff to engage in intensive discussions, workshops, and networking, further enhancing their understanding of inclusive education and practices.
As the INCLUDE Webinar Series progresses, it is essential to recognize the significance of inclusive education in fostering a culture of participation, belonging, and social responsibility. By embracing diversity and promoting equity, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all students, regardless of their background or abilities.
By participating in the INCLUDE Webinar Series and Summer School, students, educators, and staff can contribute to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. Join the movement towards a more equitable and accessible education system.
