Step 5: Discussion

The facilitator asks participants to brainstorm strategies for preventing micro-aggressions and promoting inclusivity. The facilitator writes these strategies on a whiteboard or flip chart (10 minutes). Examples might include:

• Educating oneself on the systemic issues of power, privilege, and oppression.
• Listen to the experiences of marginalized groups.
• Being mindful of one’s language and avoiding assumptions.
• Seeking feedback from others and being open to constructive criticism.
• Encouraging diverse Target groups and creating a culture of inclusion.
• Question the multiple identities you have and how they interact within your world.
