Presentación del curso
Every day, organizations communicate through emails, websites, meetings, visuals, videos, and AI-powered tools-yet many messages still leave people out. Language choices, inaccessible design, cultural assumptions, and digital barriers can all unintentionally exclude audiences. Inclusive and accessible communication isn't about rigid rules. It's about creating messages people can understand, engage with, and trust-regardless of gender, disability, culture, language, or context. This course builds practical skills for communicating inclusively across real-world channels and introduces key global accessibility standards, including WCAG, ADA, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
¿Quiénes participan en este curso?
This course is designed for professionals who create, manage, or influence communication in organisational or public-facing contexts, including communication and HR professionals, managers and team leaders, trainers and facilitators, DEI practitioners, policy and programme staff, and anyone involved in internal or external messaging.
What will I learn?
Week 1 — Foundations
Build a shared understanding of inclusive and accessible communication. Learn how bias, stereotypes, and design choices can exclude—and why accessibility is a human, ethical, and practical responsibility, guided by global standards (WCAG, ADA, EAA).
Week 2 — Inclusive Communication Across Channels
Apply inclusive principles across language, culture, visuals, and AI-powered tools—reducing exclusion while improving clarity and trust.
Week 3 — Deep Dive into Accessible Communication
Learn how to create accessible digital content through clear writing, readable design, alt text, and captions—so communication is usable for people with diverse abilities and contexts.
Week 4 — Capstone Project
Apply learning to a real communication asset. Redesign it using best practices and create a personal action plan to sustain inclusive communication habits at work.
