On 26 February 2025, we welcomed participants from the fields of schools, inclusion and open educational resources (OER) to the second international online EQui-T network event.
Introductory words by Caroline Breyer (PHSt) were followed by an exciting keynote speech by Miguel Ángel Valero on ‘Best practices for Inclusive OER’.
Barbara Gasteiger-Klicpera (University of Graz), Catalina Jiménez Hurtado (University of Granada) and Carlos Navas-Vallejo (University of Granada) then presented the criteria catalogue for Open Educational Resources developed as part of EQui-T project (WP2).
The various dimensions of the criteria catalogue were then discussed in the national networks (Austria, Italy, Spain, Estonia and Norway). The results of the discussions, suggestions and feedback from the participants in the national networks were then briefly presented by the moderators in the international network.
We would like to thank Miguel Ángel Valero, the speakers from the University of Graz and the University of Granada as well as all participants for the inspiring impulses and the stimulating exchange in the national networks.
We look forward to seeing you again at the next network meeting and hope for equally interesting presentations and discussions on the topics of OER and inclusion.
The 3rd international network meeting will take place on 06.05.2025.

On 30 and 31 January 2025, (future) teachers and other stakeholders from the fields of school, inclusion and open educational resources visited Graz. During their study visit, the participants from Estonia, Italy, Norway, Austria and Spain visited two primary schools in Graz. They took part in lessons, observed inclusive teaching practices and talked to school leaders and (inclusion) teachers about ideas and their own practices.
On 30 January, the participants also explored the Digital Lab for Inclusion. In small groups, they familiarised themselves with different digital tools and assistive technologies (including AAC tools) and tried to work with them (e.g. drawing a picture with an eye-tracking tool). They learnt more about the possibilities of using digital tools in inclusive classrooms and shared their personal experiences with different (digital) tools they use in their respective countries, institutions and schools. In addition to some differences in their individual practices, but also the common practices of their respective countries, the participants were also able to find similarities.
In the evening of the first day, the participants also had the opportunity to find common ground outside of inclusive practice and get to know each other better over dinner.
In the closing session on 31.01.2025, the participants shared their thoughts, impressions and highlights of the study trip and collected takeaways for their own pedagogical professionalisation. Despite all the differences that the participants recognised with regard to the educational resources in their respective countries, they also identified a number of shared ideas and convictions on how inclusive education can succeed in different teaching situations.
The first EQui-T international networking event took place on 11 December.
The networking event was attended by teachers and other stakeholders in the field of schools, inclusion and Open Educational Resources (OER) from our partner countries.
After a warm welcome by Caroline Breyer (PHSt) and a short introduction by the project lead Barbara Gasteiger-Klicpera (Uni Graz) there were two exciting keynote speeches by Martin Ebner (TU Graz) on 'Open Educational Resources for Learning' and David Wohlhart (Wohlhart Lernsoftware, formerly also PPH Augustinum) on ‘Inclusive teaching - Concepts and Connections with Digital Scaffolding’. Afterwards, the participants took the opportunity to exchange ideas in the national networks (Austria, Italy, Spain, Estonia and Norway).
We would like to thank the speakers for the inspiring presentations and all participants for the stimulating exchange.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2025, where we will continue with equally interesting keynotes and discussions on OER and inclusion.
Our 2nd networking event will take place on 26 February 2025.
Please send your registration by email to Veronika Ruhry: v.ruhry(at)phst.at by 23 February 2025.
