Schools in Dresden and Saxony are faced with the task of becoming inclusive schools, i.e. realising the right of all pupils to non-discriminatory education. The institution of school in the migration society is thus challenged to review and adapt existing orders, routines and the relationship between students' prerequisites and institutional expectations and offers. The situation at schools, however, is characterised by a serious structural shortage of teaching staff and resources, which makes it more difficult to cope with everyday school life instead of supporting the new challenges.

In joint sponsorship with the Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft politisch-kulturelle Bildung Sachsen e.V. (LAG pokuBi), the Centre for Integration Studies of the TU Dresden offers the event series Inklusive Schule in der Migrationsgesell­schaft - Handelnde Teilhabe für alle, aber wie? in the summer semester 2019.

In the context of the lecture series, academics are invited to speak on the question of what it means to understand the school in the migration society as an inclusive place. Supplementary comments from local practitioners will be used to discuss how processes of change can be initiated and realised from the situation of structural deficiency in the direction of discrimination-free education and active participation for all.

The lecture series is open to the academic audience and interested practitioners and can probably also be followed virtually within the framework of an online lecture series.

The lecture series will be complemented by four practical workshops to discuss and reflect on the analyses presented with regard to concrete fields of action for a school in a migration society and to develop approaches to action and sustainable local working structures.
