INHEF Symposium 2022
Inclusive and Universal approaches in Higher Education for students with Intellectual Disabilities
The Inclusive National Higher Education Forum (INHEF) is a national interest group comprised of representatives of higher education providers and other professionals interested in supporting access routes and inclusive education initiatives to learners with intellectual disabilities in the Republic of Ireland.
The inaugural full-day INHEF symposium is the first of its kind in the Irish context. It will take place on Friday November 25th 2022, in Munster Technological University (MTU), Cork School of Music. This symposium will be a hybrid event, so participants can attend in-person and/or online.
This symposium seeks to provide a collaborative platform for stakeholders in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to demonstrate their advances in providing for the diverse student body that reflects Ireland’s post-secondary population’s strengths and needs. Further, it strives to provide a space for persons with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) to relate their educational journeys and to challenge HEIs in advancing their inclusive thinking, acting, planning and policy development. The symposium also seeks to draw knowledge from international experts in the field and to bring a heightened sense of positive change in the rights-based education agenda for persons with ID.
