Buzz-Word Bingo
In the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors, certain terms and concepts tend to be subject to fashion, resulting in their meaning being diluted and used loosely.
At trans:verse, we are transparent about our approaches. This includes clarifying our understanding of certain terms and concepts so that we do not simply use the latest buzzwords to appear well-informed and up to date.
Also, there is usually more than one way to understand something. Working in diverse teams requires us to discuss different perspectives until we reach a shared understanding that suits everyone, supports the values that trans:verse stands for and best serves our clients.
