Join us on 20 April 2026 (10.30–17.00 UK time) for the YLT Inclusivity Bootcamp, a hands-on pre-conference event co-hosted by the IP&SEN SIG and the YLT SIG. Led by Boelo van der Pool, Agnieszka Dzięcioł-Pędich, Michelle Worgan, Rachael Harris, and Anette Igel, this highly interactive day will share practical strategies for supporting neurodiverse learners, responding to emotional and social needs, reducing participation barriers, and creating accessible, inclusive learning environments. Through workshops, live demonstrations, and reflection, you’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas, fresh inspiration, and new connections—sign up and get ready to make inclusivity work in your classroom!

Registration is available for both online and in-person attendance. Follow the link for the PCE programme and registration: https://www.iatefl.org/event-details/#/?id=770
