Linguistic Diversity and Inclusion at UCPH
Given the increasing internationalisation and the ability of the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) to attract talent from all over the world, the cultural and linguistic diversity at the university has increased. Therefore, the university faces new opportunities but also communicative challenges for both students and staff.
This webinar focuses on language and language use across UCPH. We will delve into specific challenges and provide recommendations for employees, students, and managers, so that we can all contribute to promoting an inclusive parallel language working and study environment with fewer language barriers and equal access to knowledge and contribution to the working and learning environment.
The webinar will be held in both Danish and English. If the speaker presents in Danish, the slides will be in English - and vice versa.
Speakers:
- Language Consultant, Jo Ebert Håkonsson, International Staff Mobility (ISM), Shared HR.
- Professor, Slobodanka Dimova, Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use (CIP).
- Academic Language Consultant, Katja Årosin Laursen, Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use (CIP).
