1.Self - Knowledge of Self (Managing Individual Differences) and Bianca
Day 1
8am to 8:30 am – Coffee and Tea Networking
8:30 to 9:30 am – Introduction and Reflection
During this period, each participant will introduce about themselves and five interesting cultural facts about the regions/countries that they represent. After everyone finishes with the introductions, the facilitator will divide the team into four groups and ask each group to compare and contrast different cultures and their associated practice. Each group will send a representative to present their findings. The end result of this activity is to help participants recognise that although on the surface, every culture seems to be deeply divided, all culture shares a universal set of common values, which lay the foundation for cooperation.
9:30 to 10:30 am – Workshop
The workshop will be conducted by an expert presenting the topic of different models of intercultural management which addresses the behaviours of people in organizations around the world and provide tips as to how to work with people from different cultures all over the world. The workshop is in seminar format where the expert only introduces the key points and theory and the participants will contribute by sharing their knowledge and experience. The purpose of this workshop is to ensure every participant is equipped with sufficient knowledge and management theories.
10:30 am to 10:45 am – Break
10:45 to 11:45 am – Workshop
An expert will present on the topic of cultural dimension, cultural intelligence (including Linguistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, and Interpersonal Intelligence), and sources of cultural differences (male vs. female, individualism vs. collectivism, etc.).
11:45 am to 12:00 noon- Wrap up first day

3.Difference - Acknowledgement and valuation of cultural differences Lingyun
A Vision of Valuing A Diverse Community Purpose: This activity helps staff use their creativity and awareness to imagine a community
which truly values diversity and to create action steps in achieving this vision.
Material: Blank flipcharts (one chart or page for each group) Multi-colored markers
Time: 25 minutes Divide the staff into groups of four to six people each. Ask them to do the following:
1. Brainstorm as a group what this community would be like if they had an environment which truly valued diversity.
2. Create a graphic image of their vision and draw it on their flipchart, using multi-colored markers. (They may want to conceal their image from the other groups for a grand “unveiling.”)
3. Create two to three action steps which they, as an individual or staff group, can implement that will contribute to achieving this vision.
Have each group present their vision and graphic image to the whole group. Then, have them list their action steps. The other groups can ask questions or make comments.
Summarize by stating that we all want to work and live in an environment where we are free to be who we are, and to be appreciated for our unique contribution. Only by working together, caring about this topic and wanting to create open communities that embrace diversity can we do just that.
Finally, ask each participant to go away with and on their own complete the “Breaking Down Barriers” worksheet (attached). Ask them to focus on individual and staff group actions they can take to break down the barriers to creating diverse communities on their floors. This worksheet should be a continued discussion item for staff members at both staff meetings and individual meetings with supervisors in the coming days/weeks!

2. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) In Flower Petals
This recreational activity needs 4-10 members in each group and it is one of the best ways to learn more about each other. All the members should be encouraged to make the best of their creativity and ideas. Here’s how to proceed -
1. All the groups should get a large art paper and some colorful markers.
2. Each group has to draw a large flower. It should have a round center and an equal number of petals to the number of participants in their group.
3. After discussion, each participant should fill the petals with something that is unique about themselves- anything that makes them stand out from others. However, physical characteristics should be ignored.
4. The center of the flower should be filled with their ‘common’ something. The flowers should be shared with the other groups so as to discuss the differences and similarities.
This game provides mental exercise and a wide scope for social interaction.
11. Take The Privilege Walk
The privilege walk helps the participants to understand more about themselves and know-how they have or don’t have a privilege in comparison to the others. It goes like this:
1. Explain to the group that we all have some privileges which others do not, in a subtle way.
2. Take a wide free space and ask the group members to stand in a line.
3. Explain to them that you will start reading out a series of statements.
4. Instruct them to take one step forward or backward when a certain statement applies to them.A series of 25-30 statements can be read out. It can include statements like:
· If you are left-handed, take a step forward.
· If you are of Indian origin, take a step forward.
· If you rely on public transport, take a step forward.
· If you have come from single parent background, take a step back.
· If you have ever faced sexual harassment at the workplace, take a step back.
· If you have ever faced an identity crisis, take a step back.
5. After all the statements, ask the team members to look around and see where other people are in the room. Finally, let them sit in a circle and facilitate a discussion about how they are feeling. Depending on the differences and disadvantages, you can have a great conversation and hope to be truly inclusive.
