How to be more inclusive with diverse communities
2022TL; DR
How can we all be more inclusive in our events and lives
Session Details
We are all involved in one or more community organisations.
There are well prove and important reasons for community organisations to aim to become more inclusive.
Increasing the variety of people who participate in your community group can offer the opportunity to tap into a rich pool of talent, bring in new voices, experiences and approaches, and add depth to existing skills and ideas.
People are more likely to join in and contribute if they can see that they will be treated with respect and dignity.
This session will go over my own personal experiences in being more inclusive in both my technical community and the wider community.
You will learn techniques that will help you become more inclusive and appreciate diversity and promote equality within your own communities.
