# ...by preparing for an internal dialogue?

A good way to start to prepare the members of your CO or core team of partners is to discusse setting aside dedicated time to explore these themes in more detail, in an open dialoge with each other. 

✓ Organise a CO and team meeting to have structured conversations on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion through workshops.

✓ Select an online MOOC or video workshop to watch together as a team, such as the **GlobeScape “Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) in Science Communication” workshop** listed in the resources below. 

✓ Place equity and inclusion at the heart of your communication and engagement strategy and setting clear strategic priorities for overcoming structural inequalities when planning activities.

✓ Use the concept of centering racial equity to advance the CO strategy, build understanding, strengthen relationships, and support in reaching collective goals.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://inclusivity.toolkit.citiobs.eu/dialogue/how-can-we-engage-with-the-concepts-of-equity-diversity-and-inclusion-edi/...by-preparing-for-an-internal-dialogue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
