Conference
Inclusive Education

Giving students a voice
2nd of May 2019, University of Vienna, Austria
Inclusive Education has become the focus of research
more and more as the number of students with special needs educated in mainstreaming classes is
rising nearly all over the world.
However, inclusive education not only focuses on ‘special’ learners but includes all learners.
Within this context, it is important to examine
how students themselves feel about inclusive education. Do they have a positive attitude towards inclusive education? Do students feel socially included?
Which level of wellbeing do they experience in school?
This conference aims at giving insights into students
perspectives on inclusive education. Researchers and practitioners need to listen to students
voices to explore the opportunities and challenges of inclusive education and to create a better future for all students. Keynote speeches will be given by four well
known international researchers. Moreover, there is the
possibility to submit a poster to present your own research.
In addition, the conference is combined with the inaugural lecture of Prof. Susanne Schwab who started to work for the University of Vienna in October 2018.
Participants are welcome to submit an abstract for a poster (deadline 31.01.2019) and register for the conference
(deadline 31.03.2019).
