The conversation discusses the development and importance of the Altitude Charter for Universal Design in Tertiary Education in Ireland. The charter aims to create inclusive environments in education and employment for people with disabilities. It addresses the rising diversity in the student body and the need to adapt approaches to ensure inclusivity. The charter was developed through a collaborative process involving stakeholders from higher education institutions, further education and training sectors, and national stakeholders. The process included extensive consultations, focus groups, and surveys with students and educators. The charter is seen as a framework to guide institutions in implementing universal design practices and fostering a shared ecosystem of inclusion. https://www.ahead.ie/altitude https://www.atu.ie/about/teaching-and-learning/altitude-charter
