Action Synergy and the European project InclusiVET invite you to take part in a series of online seminars exploring practical ways to make vocational education, creative spaces and professional opportunities more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities.
Through eight free online webinars, the series will address key themes such as Universal Design for Learning, the social model of disability, inclusive communication, accessible workplaces, support networks, artistic pathways of people with disabilities, and lessons learned from the implementation of inclusive education practices.
Participants may register for one or more webinars, depending on their interests and availability. Each session will offer the opportunity to meet people from other countries, exchange experiences and take part in an international dialogue on inclusion, creativity and accessibility.
