Step 5: Reflection

The facilitator asks the following questions and guides the conversation. Everyone can share, no need to respond to each other’s answers. Encourage the participants to share and listen (15 minutes).

  • What was it like to witness a micro-aggression?
  • Was this hugely different from experiencing one?
  • How did you feel in your role as bystander responding to what you witnessed?
  • Was it easy to promote inclusivity?
  • What did you learn or notice within yourself while doing the exercise? Perhaps when you were a perpetrator?
  • Did anything else stand out to you?
