Our Journey
Since 2024, RISE has been developing a practical professional development programme in Special Needs Education together with Rwandan partners. Each course builds on the experience and knowledge of the previous one. Individual workshops are gradually evolving into a sustainable training programme that enables teachers to better support children with special educational needs and is intended to become an integral part of teacher education in the long term.
