Embracing Universal Design

07 Nov 2024
Stage 1

This session will include a review on how all students can thrive together in a beneficial way across the educational continuum once the approach and delivery follow a universal design approach. This will be demonstrated through the Universal Design in Education (UDE) Framework with practical examples on how this is being implemented both in Ireland and across Europe. There will also be a discussion on how design, creativity and innovation need to be integrated into educational buildings and how this is being advanced in Irish universities.
