Words Matter: Navigating the Language of Diversity

April 15 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Join this essential training to learn how inclusive language can combat rising bias, support marginalized communities, and build bridges through understanding.

Event Description

Bias incidents are rising in New Jersey, highlighting the urgent need to support marginalized communities and openly discuss identity. Yet many people feel overwhelmed or afraid to speak up. This training explores the power of inclusive language as a tool to reduce bias and foster understanding. Participants will examine the impact of stigmatizing language and engage in interactive activities to unpack key diversity, equity, and inclusion terms. The session offers practical strategies for using language that promotes connection rather than division.
