UAntwerp believes in diversity-sensitive and inclusive communication. By doing so, you do not exclude anyone, either directly or indirectly, and you reach a wider target group with your communication. But what exactly does this mean?
The 'Glossary of D&I Terms' contains a selection of terms and concepts that are often used in the context of diversity and inclusion within the University. The aim of this list is to develop a common language to talk about diversity and inclusion at the UAntwerp.
The 'D&I reflection tool' will help incorporate a sensitivity to diversity and inclusivity in your communication and in your events. In this way, we hope that everyone associated with our university routinely considers diversity and inclusion as integral to their work.
The Information on Gender Inclusive Communication specifically address aspects of gender inclusive communication. This includes the use of pronouns, forms, texts and ways of addressing people.

Holding meetings in a multilingual context can present challenges: unconscious language choices may cause colleagues or partners to miss information or disengage from the discussion. The Guidelines for Multilingual Meetings provide practical tips to ensure that meetings lead to decisions based on broader support and participation.
