A first step to inclusion is how we talk about it. Words hold a lot of power to shape your message and influence how people connect to what you say. Inclusive communication recognises that people come from different backgrounds and experiences. It encourages us to communicate in a way that is respectful, accurate and free from stigma without assuming anyone’s past or current situation.

During this year’s ALL DIGITAL Weeks, we are hosting a webinar, “Why words matter: inclusive language for educators” on 23 March from 11:00 – 12:00 CET.
