UK101’s Living in a Diverse
World
• Understand that we are all learning
• Respect Others• Be open to talking about
difficult topics• Debate vs. Dialogue• Present your real self• Speak from your own
experiences• Let people complete their
thoughts• It’s ok to have “ouch”
moments• None of us are experts• Nonverbal reactions are
important
“We are here to learn, not believe.”
Break participants into 4-5 groups
Read each scenario and try to put them in order from the least to most sensitive
Let’s Talk About It
The Big Reveal
Attitudes, policies and practices which are destructive to cultures and individuals within them
Lacks capacity to respond effectively to the needs, interests and preferences of diverse groups; not deliberately harmful but doing so anyway
“Color-blind”—unaware of how the dominant culture may erase cultural distinctions that are valuable
Recognizes that differences are important, but lacking the skills to respond in an appropriate fashion. Tendency to tokenize
Awareness of what one knows and does not know. A recognition of the variety of experiences and perspectives
Working “with” not “for” people of difference. Motivation to build partnerships among diverse groups.
Make Change…Celebrate Diversity
