Description of the event:  
 

Universal Design for Learning in University Services is a one-hour webinar that explores how the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), traditionally applied to teaching and learning, can also inform and strengthen university support services.
 

While UDL is commonly associated with pedagogy and educators, this webinar adopts a broader perspective, using UDL as a framework to understand the variability of people involved in learning systems and academic life. Through the lens of B.Inclusion services of the University of Milano-Bicocca, the session will highlight how UDL principles can be interpreted and applied within university services to foster accessibility, inclusion, and equitable participation for all students.
 

The webinar offers reflections, practical insights, and examples of how inclusive service design can complement inclusive teaching practices, contributing to more welcoming and responsive higher education institutions.
