Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

The dissemination and implementation of Catalan terminology involves ensuring that specific terms in Catalan are known and used by their main users within each field. This includes various strategies, such as creating and updating articles on Wikipedia, organizing seminars and workshops with students to teach them how to edit and contribute to Wikipedia, and collaborating with terminology experts. In recent years, I have worked with students from the Autonomous University of Barcelona to promote and disseminate Catalan terminology, with a particular focus on terminology related to women in the labour market. This project has centred on using Wikipedia as a critical tool to ensure that terms like "breastfeeding leave," "workplace sexual harassment," or "double burden" are known and correctly used. The goal is for this terminology to be accessible and regularly used by everyone involved.
