Language shapes how we view and treat each other. Using inclusive language helps ensure that people are not demeaned or diminished because of their identity. The purpose of this webinar is to raise awareness on some facts such as language discrimination, exclusionary bias and harmful expressions, promoting healthy language practices and values in Canadian workplaces. 

 Learning objectives:  

• Understand and avoid using exclusionary, biased and harmful language  

• Apply an intersectional and anti-oppression lens to promote inclusive language  

• Challenge biases, stereotypes and assumptions to recognize the unique experiences of individuals and deserving- equity groups  

• Gain skills in communication, critical thinking and respectful relationship building  

This is an intermediate-level webinar for individuals who want to learn and reflect on inclusive language practices.
