INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
Inclusive Language and Communication
In this training, we work specifically with inclusive language and communication. Our unconscious biases are rooted in language, and therefore it is necessary to be aware of and consider our own use of language if we want to implement an inclusive language.
In an international organization, an important part of inclusive language will be about how we speak our common language English. In this course, we co-create tips for inclusive English, and we provide our specific advice and guidance for (written and oral) inclusive English.
Being an inclusive communicator means communicating in a way where everyone feels included and valued in their group, even when communicating in other ways than the norm or majority. In an international organization with people from all over the world, there will be particular variations in relation to how confrontational and direct it is appropriate to be, how much non-verbal communication comes into play, etc.
