Binnen-I
Binnen-i is a way of writing words to include everyone, no matter if they are a boy or girl or identify as something else. It works by adding the letter "i" in the middle of a word that usually ends in "-en" or "-er", like "medewerker" (employee) or "studenten" (students). When you add the "i" in the middle, it becomes "medewerki" or "studenti", which makes it clear that the word includes both boys and girls and other gender identities.
This way of writing is important because it helps people to feel included and valued, no matter their gender. It also helps to challenge the idea that some jobs or activities are only for boys or girls, and gives us more freedom to choose what we want to do in life without feeling limited by our gender. Plus, it sounds pretty cool when you say it out loud!
