An insult dressed up as a joke (Vrijeđanje ogrnuto šalom šale)

 Language classes, 26 Sep 2025, Beli Manastir, Croatia

The lecture and workshop explore microaggressions in everyday language, often unconscious expressions that carry a strong emotional impact on those who hear them. Through three thematic areas: gender stereotypes, ethnic and racial prejudices, and derogatory terms aimed at people with disabilities, participants will identify patterns of speech that spread discrimination under the guise of humor or habit. Using concrete examples from daily communication, media, and school settings, participants will examine how such words shape attitudes and relationships between people. The workshop includes analysis of real-life examples, pair/group work, and open discussion, all aimed at developing linguistic sensitivity and critical thinking. The ultimate goal is to encourage students and teachers alike to practice mindful and responsible communication.
