After introducing some inclusive writing concepts, we will alternate between subgroup work (language-specific) and sharing sessions, blending theory, practice, and Q&A moments.

This event will be presented by Isabelle Meurville, an independent translator from English to inclusive French since 2001. Her areas of expertise include fundamental rights and freedoms and energy transition. She is going to take us where language meets inclusion. Participants will be offered the opportunity to uncover the superpower woven within oral and written communication. This online conference workshop will combine:

  • A pinch of the past
  • A gram of grammar
  • The challenge of definitions
  • The intriguing voyage around what happens in our minds

Learning objectives

Participants will be broadening their horizons with a colorful array of examples in multiple languages, adding a touch of linguistic flair to their repertoire.
