Inclusive Language matters, especially in environments where cultures meet or (can) easily collide, across geographical regions, industries, universities, government- or non-profit organisations, etc.
Inclusive language is that which avoids the use of certain expressions or words that might be considered as exclusionary for certain groups of people.
In this workshop Caroline Berns invites and encourages us to unpack why organisations and institutions (of all kinds) should make an effort, to transform and embed inclusive language in everyday communication, as well as drive change in technical / professional language.
Join us at SIETAR Switzerland in welcoming Caroline to explore concrete ways to improve our different language worlds by transforming our communication and professional language.
