Inclusive and Integrated Communication
Inclusion is not part of everyday life. Let's make it commonplace in communication.
Slide from an input on Ableism
Changing communication requires a clear understanding of language as a system and the resulting rhetoric in society. With this foundation, we are able to assess the influence of these conditions on individuals and organizations and counteract them. On this basis, the understanding of people with disabilities as an entitlement and target group can be promoted. Through knowledge of the recipients, inclusive messages on accessible channels are a matter of implementation.
My offer
From experience as a sender and receiver
- Introduction to ableism-free communication by contextualizing terms such as "disability/s", "ableism" and "ableism"
- Checking your means and channels of communication for ableist statements in text and images and presenting alternative messages
- Sensitizing individuals and teams to ableist language and rhetoric and inclusion training
- Contextualization of the absence of obstacles in communication and definition of improvement measures
My approach
Message Matters
I see potential for improvement in inclusive communication as part of a change process. It is therefore important to me to understand the overall context. Because only what works in an integrated way will be realized in practice. I usually start as follows:
- Introduction to the topic and the development and use of the central concepts in different contexts
- Practical positive and negative examples in texts and images
- Recommendations on how such stumbling blocks can be avoided
In further steps, we would look together at your means and channels of communication and define fields of action in the context of your project or organization.
Of course, a different approach is also possible. I would be happy to discuss the project with you individually.
Your benefit
Inclusion means action
- The concept of inclusion becomes tangible for you and/or your employees in terms of language and communication
- You receive concrete fields of action to plan the next steps
- I will provide you with three perspectives on your path: expertise from being affected yourself, inclusion expertise and communication expertise
- I am also happy to accompany you further in the process and refer you to my network as required
