For the conference in Paris we have received a high number of proposals for workshops and educational sessions.

What is an educational session?

Educational sessions are part of the Inclusion Forum.

An educational session can have different formats, such as a lecture, a workshop, a tutorial or a seminar.

They are fully integrated in the conference programme as parallel session.

They should have well defined learning outcomes (which should help the participants to the conference to choose to attend or not).

They will be scheduled in dedicated rooms and target students, practitioners, and all those that want to increase their competences in any of the conference topics.

They can have one or more speakers.

The typical timeslot for an Educational session in the programme is 60 minutes, but longer sessions are possible.
