Learning outcomes

The elective discipline offers a space for a deeper exploration of polarizing issues in society in terms of their impact on human rights and at the same time in terms of their image in society and possible reflection in education. The aim is to open a dialogue, to explore the different layers of the topics and to show the implications of the chosen approaches, attitudes and opinions for real life in the context of education, educational institutions and social cohesion, which is a prerequisite for inclusion. The aim is to promote the theme of human rights as a possible central category of education for people with special needs. The course follows the methodology of Space for Controversy.
