Inclusive Society

Let’s roll together

Actively Building High-Quality Support at School Together

Our mission is to coach, inspire, and support teams working in collaboration. We seek tools to genuinely sustain support for (interprofessional) teamwork at school, to build know-how through co-creation, and to create space for change. Let’s roll together! Izabel and Sofie are ready to guide all stakeholders toward more inclusive, and thus, higher-quality education.

Impact of Image and Language

Choose consciously for an inclusive imagery and language within your organization

Language and images are more powerful than we sometimes realize. How do you, as a teacher, caregiver, employee, stay resilient in a rapidly changing world? What images do you use in your lessons, in your communication? How do you speak with and about young people, colleagues, and others? What uncertainties do you experience in this regard, and how do you deal with them? In this workshop, we engage in conversation about images and language using concrete examples. We critically examine our own communication and the messages it conveys. We work on raising awareness and sensitization from our own practices. Over the course of 2 sessions of 2 hours (or 1 session of 3 hours), we will work together. We ask participants to bring their own visual materials to the workshop.

Repaper

recycle, re-use, responsible

Interesting for all organizations, schools, and businesses looking to reduce their paper waste pile and aiming for sustainable and socially responsible entrepreneurship. UCLL provides a tailor-made program: we start with an intake interview to explore your needs. Next, we assess which custom enterprise or social partner (day center) is the most suitable. Then, we get to work, entirely tailored to the company. This way, organizations, schools, and businesses can receive a product made from old paper that can be reused by teachers or trainers. Be sure to check out this video to see which products can be made, or ask Wim your question.

EmpathETIC FRENCH

FOR HELPERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

During the training, we work with concrete examples of conversations with the target audience (parents, clients, children, patients) and practice key phrases that align with the basic conversation skills of empathic dialogue. Over the course of 6 sessions of 3 hours, we practice conversation skills and techniques in French based on nonviolent communication, solution-focused communication, active listening, and empathetic communication. Colleague Sofie Van Pelt co-authored the book 'Empathetic French for helpers and service providers' and is always available to answer any questions you may have on this topic!

LIMITING ONLINE RISKS THROUGH EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Are you encountering challenges with cases related to online risks? Taking a perspective from the framework of emotional development can provide relief. Through the project 'OverSeo,' UCLL has developed a framework with tips for guides of individuals with a disharmonious developmental profile regarding online risks. The starting point is the influence of (the level of) emotional development, with the aim of preventing or guiding risky social media use through preventive or curative measures. The research team supports various cases related to online risks (online sexuality and online aggression) from the perspective of emotional development. Additionally, they also offer general training on handling online risks from the perspective of emotional development.
