Inclusive language for more equality and equal opportunities

Promoting diversity and equal opportunities through conscious language

This training is held in German.
Language can unite - or divide. This training course is all about how conscious communication strengthens equal opportunities and diversity in the company - and thus creates a real competitive advantage. The focus is on strategies for a respectful choice of words that makes diversity visible and breaks down barriers. You will learn how terms influence our perception, receive practical tips for discrimination-sensitive language and develop a feel for how to promote understanding and empathy in everyday working life. You will deepen your understanding of inclusive language and learn how to integrate it into your day-to-day work.
