SENSEI Conference on Inclusive Education: Call for Participants and Workshop Hosts 

We are delighted to announce the call for participants and Workshop Hosts to join us at the Conference on Inclusive Education, which will take place on 14- 16 November 2024. The dates for travel will be communicated individually.

About the Project 

The School EducatioN for Sustainable and Equal Inclusion [SENSEI] project seeks to create and deliver courses on inclusive education for both pre-service and in-service teachers, by looking at current good practices in inclusion, testing them in different contexts, and integrating them with new approaches.

This includes best practices for the inclusion of students:

  • With special education needs, including high-attaining students;
  • with a migrant background;
  • that are part of national, cultural, or religious minorities;
  • from a different socioeconomic background;
  • of students that are members of the LGBTQI+ community; and
  • equitable representation of female students.

What are we looking for?

Participants: Are you working in the field of education? Are you a practising teacher or still learning? Would you like to share or learn more about how to deliver content that caters to students/clients of diverse backgrounds? Even when it seems difficult to put so many diverse groups together, or when there are systemic issues? Please register through the following link:

Workshop hosts: Do you specialise in inclusive learning? Do you have expert knowledge about the inclusion of any of the above groups? Then perhaps you would like to share your knowledge. You don’t need to specifically work in education to submit a proposal, only to work with participation/inclusion – but workshops are expected to include reflection on how your expertise can be applied in education.

To apply, participants and workshop hosts are required to have a working level of English proficiency. Moreover, sessions should be interactive and utilise non-formal methods whilst avoiding frontal presentations. The deadline for applications (both participants and workshop proposals) is July 31 at midnight. We can only sponsor participants from the following countries: Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, and Spain.

What do we offer?

We offer full financial sponsorship for selected participants and workshop hosts, meaning that your travel, stay, food and accommodation will be covered for the duration of the event.

The SENSEI Conference on inclusive education will host a safe space to network with like-minded professionals and leaders, aiming to provide you with impactful experiences and practical content in the field of participatory and inclusive education. The Conference will also serve as a forum for the project’s development, thus the expertise we will all share will likely influence the outcomes of our goals – about which you can read more on our official project page.
