The brief training was delivered by representatives of the University Center for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs upon the invitation of the Dean's office of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.
The lecture was aimed at the teachers of the three AMBA-accredited master’s degree programs in English – Business Administration – Strategic Management, Business Administration – Human Resources Management , and Business Administration – Management Information Systems.
The training was opened by Assoc. Prof. Marina Stefanova, Vice-Dean of Sustainable development, support, and engagement, who emphasized the importance of the inclusion of students with disabilities: “For us, at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration”, equality means creating an accessible environment, adapting materials and teaching methods, and perhaps most importantly - mutual understanding, acceptance, and cooperation. Addressing the needs of the majority, the minority, and the individual. I want to express my gratitude to all colleagues - teachers, administrators, and students who actively participate and develop an environment of tolerance towards differences. I also thank our partners from the University Center for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs, whose knowledge and experience help us adopt the best practices in the field of inclusion".
During the lecture, the teachers had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the activities of the University Center for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs, as well as to experience the effects of common causes of visual impairments.
The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration wishes to express gratitude to Prof. Mira Tsvetkova, Assist. Prof. Savina Lozanova and Chief Assist. Prof. Margarita Tomova, who conducted the lecture and shared useful information regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities.
