Kick-Off & Training “Towards Inclusive Education”

Education and teachers play an important role in the underrepresentation of several groups in STEM fields. Therefore, we want to support and educate teachers on the meaning of inclusive education, and provide them with the tools and examples to implement in their education. We will do so by organising training sessions for (future) teachers. These sessions are part of the ‘Towards Open Inclusive STEM Education’ project, funded by the Open Education Stimulation Fund, and in collaboration with staff from EEMCS, AS, CiTG, AE.
