Based on the principle that all children have a right to education, this event will explore the gaps in access to inclusive education for children with disabilities from different perspectives and jurisdictions.
Participants will explore barriers to, and the status and successes of, inclusive approaches to education for children and youth with disabilities. Using the UN Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (art. 24) and on the Rights of the Child (arts. 23, 28 and 29) as a jumping-off point, the topic of inclusive education will be explored from diverse geographical and professional perspectives. The event aims to attract and engage members of the legal community, academics and professionals in other relevant fields, and Ã山ǿ¼é students from the Faculty of Law as well as other faculties.
This event will engage participants with multiple perspectives on the challenges that children with disabilities face in having their right to an education respected, including in Quebec, in other Canadian jurisdictions and in Europe.
Drop-ins are welcome between run 10:00-11:30 and 12:30-13:00.
Cette activité est accréditée pour 3 heures de formation continue obligatoire pour juristes par un formateur reconnu.
