About the Festival
To engage every learner, inclusive approaches to teaching and learning should follow one key rule - necessary for some, useful for all.

Why Inclusive Education matters
In our opening session, our keynote speaker will explore the whole-school approach to inclusive education, and how schools can build an effective support system using tools which are necessary for some but beneficial for all.
Universal Design for Learning
Before we can expect students to engage and excel in learning, they first need to be able to access the learning material. In this session, discover how a framework like Universal Design for Learning, or UDL can help.
Supporting students with Dyslexia
