inclusion

enric March 25, 2010 note
Inclusion is engaging the uniqueness of the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, capabilities, and ways of living of individuals and groups when joined in a common endeavor.
Inclusion is engaging differences to create a culture of belonging in which people are valued and honored for the improvement of our society, world, and enterprises.
Inclusive behaviors are those practices and behaviors that leverage and honor the uniqueness of people’s different talents, beliefs, and ways of living. Inclusive behavior transcends all differences among people by acknowledging and honoring the group identities we all possess while at the same time not being restricted by those identities.

Most of the places and objects that shape our experience have been designed by intention. And the internet has created new frontiers for interaction, information, and communication design.

– Peter Morville / Ambient Findability, 2005.

Una afirmació clarament inspirada en la de Bruce Mau
