Inclusion and Intersectionality

The Youth Integration Lab Inclusion and Intersectionality will address inequalities related to ethnicity, culture, gender, and affective-sexual diversities within the context of disability. It will focus on fostering inclusive practices across education and promoting inclusive and non-sexist language in communication. The event combines workshops, expert sessions, and cultural visits to provide a holistic experience for participants.

The Youth Integration Lab in Cagliari is dedicated to these skills and knowledge, and we have two places available.

• To explore and share best practices for inclusive academic trajectories from post-compulsory education to university and beyond.
• To discuss and promote inclusive and non-sexist language in education and communication.
• To highlight the intersection of disability with gender, ethnic-cultural, and affective-sexual diversities.

• Expert-led sessions on inclusive academic pathways (disabilities, refugees, and affective-sexual diversities).
• Interactive workshops on inclusive and non-sexist language and communication (for educators, communication professionals, etc.) and with transversal discussion on gender issues across all topics.
• Campus visit to understand the university environment.
• Optional cultural visits: Falles, local tourist guide in Castelló.

The methodology will be participatory, incorporating case studies, best-practice sharing, and guided discussions to promote reflection and practical application. To enrich the experience, participants will have the option to join cultural visits.

Students: Post-compulsory education, university students, and other interested learners. 2 Students per partner university.

Experts: Specialists in disability inclusion, refugee support, affective-sexual diversity, inclusive education and communication.
