Lecture series ‘Global Challenges and Worldwide Perspectives on Inclusion in the Context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals’

Video recordings of the lecture series by bezev and TH Köln from the winter semester 2023/2024 on the topics of inclusion, social justice and disability from an international perspective.

The lecture series from the winter semester 2023/2024 dealt with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its inclusive design. The lectures dealt with various topics of inclusion, social justice and disability from an international perspective, with a focus on the Global South (but not exclusively). As a common thread, all lectures touch on the terms ‘inclusion’ and ‘sustainability’ and refer to the 2030 Agenda and specific Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals).

The lecture series comprises six online webinars, which are available as recordings here. It was organised by a consortium of several universities and NGOs in Germany, together with international partners and global NGOs. The lectures and discussions were held in English. All recordings have a translation into International Sign Language.

The lecture series was organised by bezev and the TH Köln, Faculty of Applied Social Sciences in cooperation with:
