Alicia Birr
Founder of re·wor·l·ding, trainer and consultant in inclusive communication, coach in inclusive leadership.
Every day, we write dozens of emails, instant messages, and presentations. Forty years of scientific studies have shown that the words we use shape our perception of the world and our actions within it—especially when it comes to gender equality and the dominance of the masculine form in the French language.
Inclusive language is a set of methods available to us to represent and include everyone in our written and spoken communication. It is a powerful tool—accessible to all and free to use.
This conference will help you understand why inclusive language matters, how you can adopt it, and how to develop a critical mindset toward everyday words to take concrete action against discrimination.
60 minutes to demystify inclusive language and form your own opinion!
