Ten years after Geneva’s Department of Public Education expanded commitments to inclusive schooling, this session examines how inclusion is experienced in everyday school life for pupils with disabilities. It explores where policies succeed or fall short and investigates collaborative practices between schools, families, support services and institutions. The discussion addresses practical cooperation, barriers to participation, and concrete strategies to translate policy into classroom practice and ensure inclusion becomes a lived, sustainable reality.

A major forum on the political backlash against trans rights, from Washington to Warsaw, preceded by a screening of the documentary Just Kids.

The discussion is interpreted in English and French; the film is in English, with French subtitles.

It explores impacts on audiences and families, questions whether shock deepens understanding, and considers how to render atrocities visible without stripping victims of dignity.
