Our 3rd International UDL Symposium - Changing mindsets, changing practice

     

    Monday September 15 and 16th, 2026. Westgrove Hotel Clane, Co Kildare.

    Registration is now open!

    This year's UDL Symposium theme is Inclusion: Changing mindsets, changing practice. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for addressing the educational needs of diverse and variable learners in many settings across many stages of life. The UDL Guidelines can be used by educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, employers, and anyone else who wants to enact the UDL framework in a learning environment. 

    The purpose of this UDL International Symposium is to create an opportunity for those at all stages of their UDL journey to come together and share their learning.  We invite those using or interested in using UDL in their practice, researchers, and experts across a variety of educational and inclusion settings to facilitate workshops where we can further develop our knowledge, understanding and practice of UDL.

    This year's symposium will be an in-person event at the Westgrove Hotel, Clane, Co. Kildare Ireland.
