Encompassing all voices
An old saying tells us that silence is golden. At the 31st Annual EAIE Conference and Exhibition in Helsinki, however, silence is the last thing we’re looking for as we come together to actively consider what ‘encompassing all voices’ can, should and does mean in our field today. The Conference Conversation Starter provides a unique starting point for this discussion. Seven carefully curated essays offer a range of perspectives on how the notions of identity, diversity and inclusion can inform and inspire the work that we do. We hope that you will read, reflect, critique, enjoy and add your distinctive voice to this vital conversation for our time. EAIE Helsinki 2019 conference participants can access the Conference Conversation Starter e-book via the EAIE Events App and will get a printed copy in their conference bag. EAIE members can download the e-book at any time.
