Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) reposted this
For someone who regularly jokes that I don't like people, I adore data that tells me about them. I have a client who I learned is equally geeky about such things and, since we're working together in the civic engagement space, she shared with me this fantastic study from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE). PACE's "Civic Language Perceptions Project 2024" is fascinating for a number of reasons, but personally I love how, in this age of AI, the study combs things such as what words we can use to bring people together, and those we can avoid that might encourage division. Take a look. The dashboard is free to access and there are a number of Webinars that synthesize the work. I'm not suggesting that word choice is everything, but an engaged citizenry is critical to our communities, and communicators have an important role to play! https://lnkd.in/gcjx94uf
