I'd propose we write training material on inclusiveness to be included in the great work of the upstream institute. We can use this to build and maintain awareness in the community. It's important we don't think that training and educations are only for new-comers into the community. Especially after a few years in the community one may be tempted to fall into routines and/or preconceptions - it's important to keep an open mind towards people and ideas. One idea that has been bouncing in mind is trainings for newly elected PTLs or TCs or any other interested individuals. I'm thinking especially of leaders since their words often bear a stronger impact on the community. Perhaps self paced trainings where we present community guiding principles, code of conduct and vision or dedicated sessions at the PTG.
