The PHBern project «Digitalization Meets Inclusion», part of the Research Program on Inclusive Education, is supported by Movetia and explores how digital technologies can contribute to promoting inclusion in everyday school settings. This international collaborative project provides a Swiss delegation of teachers, school leaders, and PHBern researchers with insights into different educational contexts and approaches to digital and inclusive school development. The project destinations are selected to explore a wide range of applications of digital technologies and examine how these can address students’ diverse learning needs. Key elements of the project include international school visits, classroom observations, and professional discussions, during which participants jointly reflect on their experiences and assess their potential relevance to the Swiss educational context. The first project visit took place in China in April 2026, where the delegation visited local schools in collaboration with Wenzhou Kean University. Further international project visits are planned. The project strengthens participants’ digital competencies, promotes international exchange, and provides inspiration for the further development of inclusive school and teaching practices.
