"SO - let's win together!" - Special Olympics on Inclusion Day at UW/H on November 28, 2024 from 12:00 to 16:30

Moving together is the idea behind this year's second Inclusion Day at UW/H in and around the new building. After last year's encounter with people with disabilities opened the doors wide for the topic of inclusion, all members of UW/H are now invited to take part in Inclusion Day 2.0 and approach new challenges in a sporty way. Under the motto "SO we win together - Special Olympics at UWH", you will experience new horizons in sporting encounters with people with disabilities. Lectures and best-practice examples will get you in the mood for inclusive content.

A panel discussion will provide insights into the lives of people with disabilities, and not just at UWH.
Witten Herdecke University sees itself as a development space for the society of the future. As a modern, open university, it establishes a special culture for new learning, teaching and research - based on the anthroposophical view of humanity. Inclusion and individualization are the guiding principles of the current focus on people with disabilities. UW/H also wants to develop further in this area in order to better fulfill its bridging function between individuals and society.
There are guidelines and general points of view on how inclusion and individualization can succeed in individual cases and for educational institutions, but there are no uniform solutions. The desire to find the right ones is why the UW/H is now organizing the 2nd Inclusion Day. With a sporting impulse, it continues the idea of encounter from last year's kick-off event. People with disabilities and members of UWH enter into a relationship with each other. They get to know each other, experience exchange and inclusion as mutual support. Enjoying exercise together makes it possible to experience mutual respect and appreciation in a playful and sporty way.

The event is held in German.
