Inclusion Day
On December 4, the Inclusive University of Siegen Service Office invites you to this year's Inclusion Day. With a varied program, the university is sending a clear signal for equal opportunities, accessibility and the self-determined path of disabled students through their studies and careers.
From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., an information event on the transition from studying to working will take place in the University Library on the Adolf Reichwein Straße campus (AR-UB 114). The expert Thorsten Prenner from the Federal Employment Agency will provide a practical overview of support options, legal framework conditions and individual support paths. Participants are invited to address questions, concerns and challenges.
Afterwards, the Inclusion Café will open its doors at LEO (AR-M) from 4 to 6 pm. Under the motto "empowering inclusion", participants will discuss how the University of Siegen can better support students with disabilities. Boglarka Beyer-Rickes, communication trainer and alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, will moderate the event. The café is open to all students and offers space for exchange, creative ideas and networking - with coffee, tea, donuts and muffins.
In the context of inclusion, empowerment describes the process of strengthening people in their self-determination, their skills and their confidence in their own abilities. Students with disabilities should be encouraged to clearly express their needs, actively demand support and address barriers. At the same time, it is also about the university's responsibility to create conditions that enable genuine participation - for example through advice, barrier-free services, awareness-raising and opportunities for co-design.
