CIRCE project-EU

Accent discrimination is not something that we should underestimate, but something we have to face.
Find out more about our project visiting our website (link in bio) and if you want to share your experience with us, drop us a line!

All of our features tell something about our stories and who we are. An accent or the languages we speak, can tell a lot about our personal growth and our inner journey. Languages and accents show our past, present and future and how we improving ourselves. Not speaking a language with what is the "standard" accent should not be something to be ashamed for or that stops us in expressing our voice. We are our voice, the languages we speak and their accents, that is wealth.
Speak freely, without fear of making your voice heard❤

MEDIA STORIES🗣

In this article Ruth Hogan tells us the Joyce Mann’s story, the Hilton Cluster Commercial Director. She started her career nearly 20 years ago in a small town in the UK; at that time she was the only Asian in the hotel and she faced accent discrimination episodes from some guests of the hotel.
These episodes of discrimination did not stop her, but rather made her even more determined to create a welcoming and inclusive culture.

MEDIA STORIES🗣

In this article Alondra Tamayo tells us about how it feels to have a different accent and how being bilingual sometimes may be cause for bullying, discrimination and mocking, even from friends or teachers.
In this article, Alondra Tamayo tells us also the Maria Rodriguez’s story and how she realized that having an accent doesn’t mean being less intelligent or less educated.

We all have a voice and we should use it, no matter how it sounds!

MEDIA STORIES🗣

Alice Temporin's story can help all those who do not speak English as their main language and are afraid to speak because of their strong accent. They do not feel the necessary support to be successful in their career, and for this reason they try to hide their own accent and roots.
What really helps is making peace with our own culture and learn how this could be a strength.🫂

Everybody has an accent and we all have a preference for certain types of accents, the problem arises when these interpretations become prejudicial and go affect the way that a person is treated.
Knowing these prejudices and automatisms can help avoid discrimination; that’s our mission.
