On 13 January 2026, four education specialists from the ‘Inclusive Education Bavaria’ (IBB) project attended the introductory lecture on school pedagogy at the campus Regensburger Straße. The students were given an insight into the lived experiences, educational backgrounds and challenges faced by people with disabilities. The education specialists combined specialist information with practical experience and encouraged the students to reflect on their own future roles as teachers.
The IBB project (https://www.access-inklusion.de/projekte/inklusive-bildung-bayern/) trains people with disabilities and special support needs to become so-called education specialists. As lecturers on inclusion, they then draw on their personal experiences in their teaching and make connections to issues of participation and accessibility. Interactive forms of exchange are designed to break down reservations and open up new perspectives on people with disabilities. The overall aim of the project is to permanently embed the topic of inclusion in Bavarian higher education and to open up employment opportunities for these education specialists in the general labour market.
The Chair of School Pedagogy, specialising in empirical classroom research, has been evaluating the project’s courses since April 2025.
