Conclave 2.0: Building Foundations for Inclusive Higher Education

  • This event has passed.

In August 2023, a group of universities, organizations and NGOs keen on deliberating on the challenges of inclusive higher education for students with disabilities in India met at Ashoka University at a conclave organized by the Office of Learning Support (OLS). The group deliberated on ‘The Future of Disability Inclusion in Higher Education’ and identified key gap areas that need work. A year forward, OLS is ready to host “Conclave 2.0: Building Foundations for Inclusive Higher Education” to continue the conversation we started last year.

Conclave 2.0 aims to take forward the ideas enlisted in the White Paper released from the deliberations of our previous meeting and expand its reach to a wider range of higher education institutes (HEIs) to join the conversation.

The Themes to be Explored at Conclave 2.0

  • Addressing policy gaps in Inclusive Higher Education
  • Building support structures and reasonable accommodation frameworks at HEIs
  • Strengthening accessible library systems and educational content accessibility
  • Facilitating access to assistive technology for students in higher education- availability and training access
  • Making faculty agents of inclusive teaching in classrooms

Fostering the power of peer learning, this conclave will have partners lead sessions on areas they specialize in, sharing their best practices and facilitating discussions culminating into micro road maps and action plans for the different themes identified.
