DIVERSITY
and SOCIAL ISSUES
Diversity Training
Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what it
means to value diversity; both their own and others. They will
be involved in a variety of activities that require thoughtful
and active participation. They will explore and discuss their
personal experiences, perceptions, and hopes for the future.
Participants will be encouraged to experiment with new ideas
and to stay open to new information. Talking about differences
between people, exploring other paradigms and discovering new
insights are not easy tasks.
At times participants may feel uneasy or awkward during some
of the activities. These feelings are entirely natural to have
when doing this kind of work and indeed are a sign that personal
growth and awareness are taking place.
This program offers a place to dialogue with one another, gather
thoughts and ask questions as each participant tries on new
ideas. The faculty encourages participants to talk openly and
honestly with each other, and help to create an environment
where people feel safe enough to do so.
Valuing Diversity in the Workplace
Benefit: this program begins with the process of dialogue. Through
the use of small and large group discussion activities, participants
are provided with opportunities to practice this skill before
addressing the difficult issues that prevent us from working
and living together.
Valuing Diversity Phase II
Benefit: this program is fully customized to the problems, issues,
and goals specific to your organization. This program may also
be used as a follow-up to "Valuing Diversity in the Workplace."
