Webinar information

Description

This webinar is designed for educators engaged in eTwinning projects who wish to enhance their approach to inclusivity using the newly released Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 3.0 framework. We dived deep into UDL’s three core principles—Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression—exploring how each can transform your collaborative projects to better meet the needs of all learners. Participants discovered how to leverage UDL to address varying learning preferences, needs, and cultural backgrounds, especially when it comes to creating accessible, impactful project deliverables. Beyond theoretical grounding, this session equipped you with practical strategies to foster an inclusive environment that not only supports but actively engages pupils of diverse ages and abilities. We also highlighted ways to use UDL to bridge cultural differences, ensuring that every student feels represented and empowered within the eTwinning project framework. Drawing on case studies from successful projects, this webinar offers actionable insights to elevate your practice, whether you’re an experienced eTwinner or new to the platform, ensuring that each student’s voice is valued and that the collaborative learning experience is accessible for all.
