This strategic work began with in-depth comparative research on inclusive writing practices used by cultural organizations, both locally and internationally.
This analysis identified relevant trends and approaches adapted to the cultural sector.
Based on this research, we synthesized best practices from reliable sources, including government guides and other recognized references, to provide clear and applicable recommendations.
One of the specific aspects of this support was to take into account the differences between French and English, to ensure linguistic consistency while respecting the specificities of each language.
To make these recommendations concrete and immediately operational, we also provided practical examples based on some of Place des Arts' existing texts.
This approach demonstrated how to effectively integrate inclusive writing into their digital communication, while reinforcing their commitment to a fairer and more equitable representation of their audience.
