The goal of the course is to discuss and develop methods of social interaction within the context of diversity, which is something characteristic of almost any modern society.The course is aimed at experts specializing in inclusive practices in the field of education and culture, and at students and young researchers interested in this topic. For two months, course participants will study concepts for understanding inclusion and social diversity in dialogue with leading researchers and practitioners and through problem-oriented group discussions, while learning about practical developments in the field of inclusive programs.
