Leiden Inclusion Blog: What does inclusion mean to you? |
|
|
The Diversity Office is launching the Leiden Inclusion Blog as a forum to share experiences and discuss current issues related to diversity and inclusion within the university community. Now is an particularly important moment to share our stories, listen, and recognise the diverse and intersectional realities of COVID-19. While we are all in this together, it may mean different things for different people

Guidelines accessible online education |
|
|
Leiden University has switched in next to no time to online education, thanks to the efforts of all those involved. But, is online education accessible for students with a functional disability? The Diversity Office has developed a set of guidelines for accessible and inclusive education. You can find the guidelines on the remote teaching webpage.

Collaboration with Black Leadership Programme |
|
|
Many of the activities of the Diversity Office have not been able to take place, one of which is an exchange under the Black Leadership Programme of Nottingham Trent University. However, something positive has come out of this. In cooperation with ECHO and the Afro Student Association, regular online meetings now take place where students can exchange information and experiences about representation, inclusiveness and authentic leadership. Anyone who is interested can get in touch via diversiteit@leidenuniv.nl.

Comenius subsidy for Suzanne Mol |
|
|
|
University lecturer Suzanne Mol recently received a Comenius subsidy for her research on accessible education. Suzanne: ‘Good education is not necessarily the same as accessible education. If we as an institution make our learning environment more accessible, we offer all students equal chances, irrespective of their background or any functional disability they may have.’
