Demystifying Diversity and Inclusion

Day: Friday

Time: 3:45 p.m.

Room: Code Koalas - Room 303

What do we mean when we talk about diversity & inclusion, and why is it important?

Diverse communities are strong communities. Drupal has the potential to be more inclusive, but sometimes confusion about what being a diverse and inclusive community means holds us back. In this session we’ll talk about definitions, examples, and actions we can take to help the Drupal project become stronger. By ensuring that the Drupal community is a place where a wider range of people can participate, everyone contribute their knowledge, skills, and personal perspectives.

Topics covered:

• What is Diversity & Inclusion? Including: definitions, clarifications, and real-life examples.
• Why is diversity is important?
• Why we should embrace accessibility for those with disabilities.
• Ways to get involved
