Inclusion in the daycare center! But how can it succeed?
In the project "Gelingen! - Learning together in and for inclusive conditions in kindergarten", students, teachers and academics for the training of educators have worked together on a new learning principle for inclusion and developed it further.
At its core, this learning approach involves the prospective educators visiting various daycare centers as researchers with their own questions on the topic of inclusion, conducting interviews or observations there, reflecting on the results in their research groups and finally presenting the findings to the whole class.
The TUD Lectures provide a practical insight into the development and implementation of the learning principle. In the discussion that follows, the associated opportunities, but also challenges - from the perspective of the students, teachers and academic supervisors - on the way to inclusive daycare centers will be explored.

Let's START inclusion!
Young companies are increasingly discovering the opportunities and potential of inclusion, digital accessibility and social participation. The possibility of easier communication and media use creates access for people with and without disabilities and opens up ways out of economic, political and social exclusion.
This time, the TUD Lectures will discuss the field of activity of young spin-offs from TU Dresden, which deal specifically with the topic of "inclusion". The slides of the lecture from October 18, 2023 can be found here: Slide set

Better thinking about product design for everyone!
During the development process of products and applications, it is important to include the perspectives of as many applications and users as possible. Often, people with special usage challenges are left out, even though only small changes would easily contribute to an improvement.
The TUD Lectures address the question of how inclusive product design can be implemented as early as possible in the design process.

Prof. Sebastian Pannasch (School of Science)

Highly automated driving - a contribution to inclusion in the field of mobility
The event, which was postponed due to the weather, will now take place on April 9 at 6 p.m. in the Bürgerlabor (Kreuzstraße 2) of the city of Dresden.
Highly automated driving offers many opportunities for participation in mobility, especially in rural regions. How must networks, infrastructures and vehicles be designed so that this can be successfully implemented?
The TUD Lectures are pleased to present several projects on highly automated driving with a focus on inclusion.
Advisor:
Dr. Steffen Kutter (Head of the Automated Driving Group, Chair of Vehicle Mechatronics and overall group leader of the ABSOLUT project)
Moderation: Heike Schleussner.
- April 9, 6:00 p.m., Bürgerlabor, Kreuzstraße
What is inclusion actually not?
The QuaBIS team(qualificationof educationand inclusion officersin Saxony) has been part of the teacher training for general education schools (elementary school, secondary school and grammar school) at the TUD since 2019. As part of the educational sciences, people with experience of disabilities actively hold seminars for the full semester that correspond to the module regulations and teach their regular teaching content. In addition to teaching, the education and inclusion officers are also involved in research activities.
Education and inclusion officers use their perspective to uncover barriers and mechanisms of exclusion that have not yet been (comprehensively) addressed.
Together with you, we want to question assumptions that are often found in connection with inclusion, look for ways of participation and point out opportunities for co-design.
At our event, you will be actively involved in searching for and finding answers and we look forward to your participation.

Background to the series of events
In 2021, the Directorate University Culture launched the TUD Lectures event series, in which experts from various disciplines at TU Dresden take a close look at current topics. In lectures lasting up to 1½ hours, the experts present their knowledge in a clear and understandable way. The TUD Le ctures are aimed at the TUD community and all interested parties.
