STEP FORWARD
FOR DIVERSITY
The exercise we will do today is pretty simple.
I will have you stand in a minute. I will then call out a category/label/description and ask you to step forward if it applies to you.
If it does not apply, you will stay still.
For example, I might ask you to step forward if you wear glasses.
If this describes you, and you feel comfortable to do so, step forward.
This activity will involve labeling and personalizing some of your diverse qualities. This might prove uncomfortable at times. Eventually, however, it might empower us all to break down stereotypes and assumptions that we, as a product of our culture, experience, and life hold.

** We do have to set a few ground rules for the activity.
