World Education Leadership Symposium
WELSfocus September 4, 2024, from 3 p.m to 6 p.m. CEST, online
Inclusion in School and Education –
Challenges and Conditions for Success
The establishment and implementation of inclusive education represents a challenging, fundamental development task for schools and their stakeholders, but also for education administrators, school supervisory authorities and politicians. With the claim of an “inclusive education system at all levels” (UN, 2006 Art. 24), they have been dealing with the task of initiating and implementing an inclusion-oriented transformation process for almost 20 years.
What lines of development are currently evident in schools, regions and countries? Where have resources been built up and expanded, models developed and practices established in order to come closer to the goal of dealing productively with heterogeneity? What conditions need to be in place for this school and system development task to be successfully mastered?
The Symposium explores these and other questions at school, regional, national and international level and aims to uncover potential, but also to identify hurdles and stumbling blocks that have so far made participation and recognition difficult for everyone.
Join us to discuss empirical data, solutions and strategies for implementing inclusion in schools and education!
In keynote speeches and discussion rounds with colleagues from schools, education science, school supervision and education administration, politics, associations and other experts, the WELSfocus will discuss problems and possible solutions from multiple perspectives in a committed and profound manner.
Various roundtables and other interactive and innovative formats enable active exchange and systematic as well as spontaneous networking with colleagues.
Do you have an issue you would like to discuss?
We would be delighted if you could make an active contribution – research-based or practice-oriented – to the Symposium, present a current study or a critical contribution on current challenges of inclusion in schools and education, e.g. in the form of a short presentation or short input of max. 15 minutes.
