The event focuses on how the language we use alters our relationships with other people and attempts to question the language and phrases we use that we take for granted as being set and correct. The workshop looks at the language of gender, race, disability and sexuality and ways we can improve language to make it more inclusive, promoting equal opportunity for all.
