 Text Reporters provide real-time captioning. Their expertise is essential 
 to the Conference to cater to the greatest level of attendees' access and 
 participation needs. Inclusion by design means designing the environment f
 rom the beginning to the greatest extent of users (preventive) rather than
  a retrospective approach (fixing the environment afterwards). The hybrid 
 feature is in line with the core values of CHARM-EU. The Speech-to-Text ca
 n be followed here.Hosts of the CHARM-EU Annual Conference 2024:Ferenc Tak

  challenge-based learning activities. Positionality is a reflection and re
 cording of the researchers’ position upon the research being conducted\,
  and what impact it may have on the research. Within challenge-based learn
 ing activities\, students and staff are often engaged with stakeholders fr
 om different cultures and backgrounds to develop solutions to challenges. 
 A key part of this process is for students to acknowledge their positional
 ity and consider how their biases and backgrounds may influence the resear
 ch design\, methodology\, and interpretation of their results. This sessio
 n invites students\, researchers\, teaching staff and stakeholders to shar
 e experiences and collaborate to produce a positionality resource for chal
