Session Overview: Inclusive Education
Inclusive education in emergencies: What can we do in practice?
Global Consultation 2009, Istanbul
Thursday 2 April 9:00-13:00, Concurrent Working Session Block 5
Abstract
This session will take participants through a process of learning and reflection where they can explore their own and others’ concerns around inclusion and equity in emergency education - with a particular, but not exclusive focus on disability. The session will use issues expressed in the previous Learning Session as a starting point, and will be focused around increasing people’s confidence in developing and adjusting education responses to include the most excluded and cater for the needs of disabled people - even in challenging and pressured circumstances.
The session will use an enquiry based learning approach, developing scenarios through which participants can consider how they and their colleagues can work more inclusively. It will also include participatory photography activities to stimulate debate and reflection. The session will conclude by identifying potential ways in which INEE can take this work forward.
