 Celebrate #IPLAINDAY Oct 13 2016

2016 Theme: Show and Tell

Share your plain language work! #plainshare2016
Now is the time to start planning your local events.
Event ideas:
  • competition for best clear message in your organization
  • display of before and after examples
  • create a list of your jargon and commit to clear alternatives
  • run a plain language lunch hour training session

Share examples of clear communication. Ask a plain language consultant to help!
  • Community engagement/public engagement/citizen engagement
  • Knowledge mobilization/knowledge transfer
  • Participatory democracy/civic design/design in elections
  • Public legal education and information
  • Financial Literacy/science literacy
And that is just a start. What would you add?
Past IPlainDay celebrations have included art and music displays celebrating plain language, public demonstrations and marches, coffee meetings, luncheons, dinners, and exhibitions of plain language work from around the world.
