Transnational Reading Approaches in Inclusive Learning Environments - TRAIL conference 2025

Welcome to the offical webpage of TRAIL 2025 at University of Potsdam. 

The TRAIL conference took place on 17–18 September 2025 at the Bildungsforum Potsdam and was organised by the University of Potsdam, the Chair of German Didactics in an Inclusive Context, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Winnie-Karen Giera.
