She has participated in the 2024 Research Collaborative Convening held at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi on 18 November 2024. Prof Gaad presented at the Cross Cutting Themes and Cross-Cultural Collaboration session. The session aimed at developing a global perspective on inclusive education from different countries and regions to develop a framework for inclusive education. Inclusion is not a straightforward task, as the concept varies widely depending on cultural norms, societal attitudes toward disability, and local policies. The cross-cultural session discussed perspectives among scholars and researchers from across the globe, known for their advocacy, research interest, and policy making commitment.
