Presentation Type: DEI/Student Workers

Presenters: Test, ,

Abstract: Do you lead or work with a diverse team? Student employees especially come from a variety of countries, experiences, and socioeconomic situations. Come learn a new way to interact with your team members with a focus on DEI. In this powerful, highly interactive session we’ll demonstrate Cross the Line, an activity that can build empathy, foster respect and explore cultural connections. It can also bond teams of all levels and age groups by exploring their backgrounds through diversity, equity, and inclusion. Participants will see the ways that power and privilege play out in each person’s unique life and background. From the largest organization to the smallest branch library everyone can use these innovative principles to strengthen interpersonal collaboration skills. Come see how your team can benefit from this unique DEI activity! Audience members will be asked to stand and participate in a group activity based around the learning scenario Cross the Line. Audience members will be asked to stand and react to a series of statements. This will then facilitate a group discussion at the end of the session. Instead of lecture, the audience will participate in collaborative learning.
