Session Abstract

This educational session explores the potential of emerging technologies to promote inclusion and participation in education. Using the World Café methodology, the session invites educators, technologists, researchers, and policymakers to engage in collaborative dialogue around three key questions:

  1. Which educational technologies hold promise for promoting inclusion and participation? What are opportunities and good practices? 
  2. Which barriers and facilitators affect the implementation of educational technologies in the school context? 
  3. Which strategies may foster a successful implementation of educational technology into educational contexts?

Conference participants will rotate between discussion rounds, co-creating insights that will be synthesized and shared in a plenary reflection. The session is designed not only to foster peer learning and exchange but also to generate empirical data for a potential follow-up project or scientific publication. With informed consent, anonymized notes and observations from the session will be thematically analyzed to uncover stakeholder perspectives on the inclusive use of technology in education.

This session bridges the gap between theory and practice, and between research and real-world challenges, by engaging the audience as co-creators of knowledge. It is ideally suited for professionals interested in inclusive design, technology-supported education, and participatory methods.
