Designing Inclusive Discussions Workshop Introducing a Brand New Toolkit Activity
How can we design discussion spaces to create a supportive environment for all participants to show up authentically? How can we train our students, community partners, and leaders to create inclusive discussion spaces?
Join us on October 17th from 12pm to 1pm (eastern) to explore and practice a brand new CDP Toolkit activity on Designing Inclusive Discussions!
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to and practice an expedited version of a new activity, Activity 1.10 Designing Inclusive Discussions from the Collaborative Discussion Toolkit. Participants will identify the range of considerations necessary for inclusive discussion design, including universal versus specific design principles, and practice designing inclusive discussion spaces. Come learn how this activity can help groups collaboratively design discussion spaces.
