This demonstrates the excellent collaboration we maintain with our graduated students, and we express our gratitude to them and to the teachers who prepared their peers with disabilities, who will conduct a workshop together with children with special needs”, stated Asst. Prof. Dr. Teuta Rasimi – Ramadani.
During this workshop, the students discussed the challenges faced by persons with disabilities, including difficulties in vision, hearing, the learning process, as well as autism. The importance of inclusion and efforts to create a more inclusive society were also emphasized. This activity aimed to raise awareness among the students and foster empathy and support for individuals with special needs.
The leaders of the Faculty of Pedagogy of the University of Tetova expressed their satisfaction with the participation and engagement of the students, emphasizing that education on these topics is an important step toward a fairer and more equal society.
This event is an inspiring example of community involvement in support of equality and rights for all, and was supported by the youth center “Europe House.”
