Education for teaching and non-teaching staff workshop, under the IncEdu Project, was conducted on 12 – 16 December 2022 at the University of Peradeniya.
IncEdu project, Developing Inclusive Education for Students with Disabilities in Sri Lankan Universities, is dedicated to enhancing the learning space for students with disabilities (SWDs) in Sri Lankan universities (national universities and private institutions) and providing them with facilities and other requirements in relation to their disabilities. The project aims to address related issues by increasing awareness among stakeholders, including academic and non-academic staff at the university and policymakers in higher education, strengthening the capacity of the universities to provide services to facilitate the needs and requirements of those students, and creating a supportive learning environment for the students with disabilities.
The workshop was set up to disseminate information from international training events that were held in Brasov and Croatia. Over 80 academic and non-academic staff members from Sri Lanka as well as four Eu Partners from the University of Zagreb took part in the Workshop.
