Step 4: Discussion and Reflection

Ask participants to discuss the provided data. Encourage discussion in the direction of recognizing prejudice, resulting behavior and micro-aggressive messaging through communication. Be sure to write down (to the separate poster paper) important possible justifications.

Reflection:

1. The reflection should be based on the recognition of one’s own “condemnations” towards certain target groups.
2. What emotions and thoughts did this exercise evoke in me?
3. How much and where do I recognize my behavior in this context?
4. What did I learn that would make sense to incorporate into my communication, awareness, and behavior as soon as possible?
5. How do I want to react to concealed messages (verbal, non-verbal) and more revealed, especially hostile jokes?
6. How can I separate the role of the judge in me by understanding personal internal dynamics?  Did I learn anything new about myself in this sense?
