Safeguarding Cultural Sensitivity for Global Events
Challenge and Issue
Ensuring cultural sensitivity at international events is essential for creating inclusivity and preventing misunderstandings due to diverse language proficiency and cultural backgrounds that complicate effective communication for both speakers and organizers, as native English speakers may unintentionally create barriers by using complex language, while non-native speakers often use simpler language, resulting in clearer presentations despite their concerns about being understood.
Risk and Impact
Failing to address a multicultural audience with cultural awareness can alienate attendees and hinder event objectives, as overly complex language may appear arrogant and reduce engagement, highlighting the speaker’s responsibility for clear communication.
