Colloquium School as a multifaceted space: acknowledging and including diversity | January 23, 2023 – ONLINE – 6:00 PM

The third colloquium of the Cycle April 25 50 Years: Looking into the Past, Thinking about the Future will take place on January 23 at 6:00 PM (Portugal time), under the theme School as a multifaceted space: acknowledging and including diversity.

Inclusion is a broad and complex principle and, as such, it should be a subject for reflection and guidance for education policies and practices. Assuming this premise, the Observatory for Education and Training Policies (OP.Edu) invites the following researchers to reflect and discuss, in this online colloquium open to the public, the epistemological, educational and cultural complexity that has shaped the principles and practices of inclusive education:

• Alice Ribeiro (Head of the Inclusion Support Centre, University of Porto, Portugal)
• Cássia Sofiato (Department of Philosophy of Education and Education Sciences, Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo, Brazil)
• Joaquim Melro (Director of António Sérgio Training Centre and researcher at the University of Lisbon, Portugal)

The colloquium will also include the participation of Teresa Teixeira Lopo (OP.Edu-CeiED) in the opening session, and Isabel Sanches (CeiED, ESEL-IPLUSO), who will moderate the debate.

The event, organized by OP.Edu in collaboration with the School of Education of IPLUSO, will be held and broadcast online. Link: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/98469945254
