International School Dhaka (ISD) held the ‘Inclusion Symposium’ for the first time in Bangladesh focusing on the children with special needs on the school ground in Dhaka on Friday.
The event would allow registered participants to work with children with special needs to learn and discuss critical diversity and inclusion issues through hands-on interactive workshops and dialogues, said a press release.
CEO and Founder of Inclusion Expert, Chair of International Forums of Inclusion Practitioners, and Founder of Global Inclusive Teaching Initiative, Daniel Sobel, attended the event as the keynote speaker.
The Inclusion Symposium focused on children with special needs and how schools can include more diverse learners in everyday classrooms in Bangladesh. Every child deserves to receive quality education to develop their skills and realise their full potential, regardless of all their challenges.
The event aimed to allow participants to rise together by expanding learners’ knowledge, strengthening their resilience, and deepening their capacity for inclusion. The day was useful for professional development opportunities. Several local non-profit organisations attended the event and conducted 3-4 sessions.
