AccessibleEU Slovakia - Design for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) (26-AW-SK-01)

This AccessibleEU event is focused on the European teaching framework for Design and Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and creating a more inclusive Europe. 

The event is co-organised with partner universities of the EDIDesK project “Open Access Contents on Design for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion for Higher Education Programmes”, Erasmus+ programme (KA220-HED).

The aim is to raise awareness to improve education in design for EDI and to develop innovative approaches and practices in the fields of architecture and urban design, product design, industrial design, system design and digital design.

There will be presentations by EDIDesK project partners from universities in Italy, Poland, Spain and Slovakia. The Slovak national expert of AccessibleEU, one of the organisers of the event, will present the Accessible EU activities and platform and attract potential members to become part of the platform's community to create a more inclusive Europe.
