From Respect to Representation: Growing Diverse, Inclusive Chapters in KOTESOL
2025.06.26 / 7 pm - 8 pm / Zoom / Free Event
Abstract
How can we make KOTESOL a teaching community where all voices are heard and valued? This interactive workshop invites members and Chapter leaders to explore what inclusion and diversity can look like in Chapter spaces. Through guided reflection, group activities, and examples from our own experiences, we’ll identify common challenges and discover strategies that foster representation, equity, and mutual respect. Participants will leave with actionable ideas for creating environments that are more welcoming and strengthening a sense of belonging in their Chapter.
