Description

This workshop is for all employees — not just those who lead meetings. It focuses on your language rights in the workplace and how bilingual meetings can support an inclusive, respectful environment.

Through practical examples, videos, and discussion, the session explores:

• Your right to use the official language of your choice in bilingual regions
• What to expect from a bilingual meeting — in person or virtual
• Good practices when participants have different language profiles, including unilingual speakers
• How meetings and presentations involving external speakers can still be fully bilingual
• Real-life examples, common challenges, and practical solutions

Whether you’re a participant, a note-taker, a presenter or a team lead, this session will give you tools and clarity to support bilingual meetings — and your rights as a public servant.
