THE INCLUDE WEBINAR SERIES – Teaching INCLUsion, Diversity and Equity – Creating Inclusive Teaching and Learning Practices

This track focuses on inclusive pedagogies in education, examining neurodiversity and intersectionality as key dimensions shaping learning environments. It explores how teaching practices and classroom dynamics can either enable or marginalise learners, depending on how difference is recognised and addressed. Key themes include neurodivergence in learning and teaching, colourism, and processes of enablement and disablement understood as intersectional and interactional phenomena. In a contemporary context marked by increasing social polarisation, educational inequalities, and debates surrounding access, representation, and participation, the track encourages participants to critically reflect on the social and political role of education in shaping more equitable and inclusive societies. Objectives The course aims to develop a critical understanding of how power, identity, and structural inequalities shape educational experiences, fostering inclusive teaching practices that move beyond accommodation towards genuine educational equity. Particular attention is given to the development of transferable and interdisciplinary competences, encouraging participants to strengthen critical thinking, reflective practice, and multidimensional approaches to problem-solving. The track seeks to support the formation of individuals capable of acting as promoters of change within educational and social contexts, contributing to more inclusive and sustainable approaches to learning and development.
