University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal, Competence Center for Inclusive Education Saxony-Anhalt

The Competence Centre for Inclusive Education Saxony-Anhalt (Kompetenzzentrum Inklusive Bildung Sachsen-Anhalt) started in 2019 as a project for the qualification of people with disabilities as educational specialists, working as experts in their own cause. After completing the three-year, full-time qualification and founding of the Competence Centre for Inclusive Education Saxony-Anhalt in 2022 the educational specialists provide insights into the lives, needs and perspectives of people with disabilities in an academic environment. Thus, they convey the importance of inclusion to (future) teaching, professional and executive staff in seminars, workshops, or presentations. Ultimately, the aim of an inclusive and accessible society is not only a gain for people with disabilities, but also for society as a whole. The Competence Centre for Inclusive Education Saxony-Anhalt is funded by the Ministry of Science, Energy, Climate Protection and Environment of the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt and linked to the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal. Furthermore it cooperates with the German Inclusion Centre Kiel.
