It\u2019s a relaxed, interactive session where colleagues come together over lunch to exchange ideas and explore how small, practical choices can make a meaningful difference in creating inclusive classrooms. Lunch is included and provided by EDLAB.<\/p>\n<p>In this first edition, we focus on what diversity and inclusion look like in everyday teaching. We\u2019ll reflect on how to make our learning environments more accessible and welcoming for all students, including those with visible and invisible disabilities, chronic conditions, or neurodivergence.<\/p>\n<p>This session is organised in collaboration with students from UnliMited, a student-led network at Maastricht University. During the session, these students will share their own real-life experiences, both positive and challenging, offering honest insights into what helps them feel included, supported and able to thrive and where barriers still exist.<\/p>\n<p>Through small group discussions focused on real-life scenarios, we\u2019ll explore questions such as: What does inclusion mean in practice? What barriers might students experience? And what simple, realistic actions can we take in our own teaching?<\/p>\n<p>No prior experience with the topic is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to exchange ideas. Whether you\u2019re new to inclusion or already working on it, you\u2019ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical ideas you can immediately apply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> EDLAB, Tapijnkazerne 23 (Building X)<\/p>\n<p><strong>When:\u00a0 <\/strong>Thursday 4 June, 12.00-13.30<\/p>\n<div class=\"pta-sus-sheet\"><h3 class=\"pta-sus sign-up-header\">Sign up below...<\/h3><div class=\"pta-sus-sheets tasks\"><div class=\"pta-sus task-info-header\">\n        <div class=\"pta-sus date-header\">June 4, 2026<\/div>\n        <div class=\"pta-sus title-header\">CPD Session: Diversity Lunch<\/div>\n\t            <div class=\"pta-sus time-header start\">Start Time: 12:00 pm<\/div>\n    \t        <div class=\"pta-sus time-header end\">End Time: 1:30 pm<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<table class=\"pta-sus pta-sus-tasks \"><thead class=\"pta-sus-table-head\"><tr class=\"pta-sus-tasks-row pta-sus-header-row\">\n            <th class=\"column-available-spots head\">\n            Available Spots        <\/th>\n    <\/tr><\/thead><tbody>    <tr class=\"pta-sus-table-row pta-sus-tasks-row consolidated\">\n                    <td class=\"pta-sus column-available-spots\" data-label=\"Available Spots\">\n                2 Filled, 13 remaining: &nbsp;<a class=\"pta-sus-link signup\" href=\"\/slottr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4034?sheet_id=975&#038;task_id=2672&#038;date=2026-06-04\">Sign up &raquo;<\/a>            <\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Activity full or can&#8217;t make this date?<\/strong> Then sign up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_b9FBkUc2yzrmOAB\">waiting list<\/a> and we&#8217;ll let you know as soon as this event is scheduled again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessibility<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">At EDLAB, we strive to make our activities as accessible as possible and do our best to make accommodations when possible.
