Introduction to Language Justice

Nebraska Children is proud to present this training from the Community Language Cooperative.

When organizations engage communities equitably and respectfully, we see the greatest impact. This training opportunity will provide organizations with practices to ensure the inclusion and accesssibility of linguistically diverse communities. The CLC offers services that broaden participation opportunities and increase community engagement by non-English speakers. CLC’s services allow organizations to remove language and cultural barriers as a standard component of important meetings, focus groups, and events that impact communities.

The training will include the following:
* Modeling language justice in community settings
* Learning activities to showcase the importance of using heart languages
* Exploring historical language oppression
* Overview of the key elements of language justice
* Tutorial on using Zoom interpretation and interpretation devices
* Introduction to the language justice continuum for self/organizational evaluation
