Come on, have a laugh!
It was just a joke!
You can't say anything anymore!

How many times have we thought or said it out loud? How many times have we heard this? Paying attention to words is a complex, daily exercise, which requires the effort to put yourself in the shoes of the person to whom that 'joke' is addressed. Reflecting on the phrases we pronounce, the explicit or implicit meanings that they acquire, is therefore an indispensable practice, the first step to build an inclusive and open space for study and work. 

The University of Trento has launched the #finiscequi (it ends here) campaign to reject any harmful statement based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age and religion and more.
A series of posters in the premises of the University and on social media report common phrases that at first seem neutral and harmless, but reveal discrimination, marginalization, harassment when put into context. These phrases can cause discomfort, exclude, discriminate, marginalize. 

The University is a community, an institution dedicated to the education of new generations, to research, knowledge and well-being at work, a place where the fight against all forms of discrimination, the respect for differences and inclusion must be guiding principles. UniTrento condemns harassment, discrimination and exclusion and sides with those who have suffered and continue to suffer these abuses. A Confidential Counsellor has been designated to this end, you can contact her in case of need.
