Here we go!

Where would we be without supportive colleagues? This blog wouldn't have been born without Eva Lundin, our communication and web editor here at the Department of Special Education at Stockholm University. This is just the latest example of how the support and interest for our work so far has been met with the two big E's: Enthusiasm and Encouragement! Today we have been scrambling around to proof drafts of MOUs (memorandum of understanding), find our recent materials about our department and our researchers (Thanks again, Eva) and figure out how to book a taxi in Kathmandu. Yikes! Khaleda Gani Dutt, Liz Adams Lyngbäck and Jari Linikko as Deputy Head will depart for New Delhi India tomorrow and continue on to Nepal on Sunday. Stay tuned for more... We will offer our first hand experiences as well as detailed information on the research institutions we will be initiating cooperation with. One day left before departure... we couldn't leave before Special Education Day...

Work and inclusion- Delhi Style March 21, 2018 ,World Down Syndrome Day

Part I What started as a rather uneventful check-in to an airport hotel turned out to be quite something else. Lemon Tree Hotel at Indira Gandhi International Airport looks cool, modern and smells slightly like lemons. We were tired after the trip from Kathmandu and rushing through the checkpoints to send our VVIP (Very Very Important Person) Jari on his vacation after having been delayed on the runway. The guy who helped me to my hotel room was quiet but attentive. Did the usual, followed me into the room, put the bag up and when I tried to explain my lack of cash for a tip, again no words, lots of smiling and showing things in the room. Ah. The visualness look. He was deaf. I waved and walked to shut the door behind him. I thought twice that maybe I was wrong. Maybe this was the way he thought there would be the least misunderstanding with a tired, middle-aged westerner who didn't speak Hindi. Khaleda and I decided to meet up, to debrief, to start the report writi...

MoU signed between Department of Special Education, SU and International Institute of Adult and Lifelong Education

Mission 1 accomplished What a positive and enlightening experience! Our common goals of focusing our research on the improvement of conditions of adults, youth and children who are often left out of education initiatives and opportunities which impact all of society. Common intersecting threads in the fabric of this MoU are disability and literacy. The connection and intention of the people in the room when the signing happened will definitely lead to more work done on involving people with disability and their families in research. It appears the only difficulty is which one of the collaborative initiatives we should start with.
