Language

inroads gatherings are participatory in nature, and include small group as well as large group discussions and interactions. The global language we use is English, and there are no formal translation services for Global Member Gatherings. However, if your participation would be improved by matching up with another participant who speaks your language for activities, please let us know here. We will do our best to match participants.

I’d like to be matched with participants who speak my language.

About your work on stigma

inroads builds participatory agendas by learning what members are ready to share and learn at Global Member Gatherings. The following questions ask about what you are ready to share with other inroads members, as well as different ways of sharing your work.

Below, please indicate with a check the kind of way you’d like to share, and complete the fields describing your work to share.
