3 Powerful Diversity & Inclusion Activities (+2 Bonus Exercises)
Use these engaging and reflective exercises to help teams explore privilege, identity, inclusion, and how to navigate workplace bias with empathy and awareness.
Activity 1: Privilege Walk
Participants line up and take steps forward or backward based on prompts related to life experiences and systemic privilege.
Example Prompts
- “Take one step forward if you have never been discriminated against because of your race or ethnicity.”
- “Take one step back if you grew up in a single-parent household.”
Key Learning:
This activity builds awareness around privilege and helps participants reflect on how personal experiences shape workplace dynamics.
Discussion Prompt:
“You’ve been selected to lead a cross-cultural team. How do you make everyone feel included?”
Activity 2: Identity Collage
Participants create a visual collage representing aspects of their identity—culture, gender, beliefs, interests—and discuss how these influence their workplace behaviors.
Discussion Prompts:
- How do your identities shape how you collaborate or give feedback?
- How can you leverage them to foster inclusivity?
Case Study Prompt:
“You’re mentoring a colleague from a different country. How do you show cultural respect?”
Activity 3: Case Studies & Small Group Discussions
Provide real-world DEI dilemmas and invite small groups to discuss strategies for inclusion, navigating bias, and using inclusive language.
Example Case Prompts:
- “A colleague frequently interrupts you in meetings. How do you respond?”
- “A team member refuses to join the diversity training. What do you say?”
Advanced Prompt:
“How would you ensure that a new product design is culturally inclusive?”
Bonus Activity: Invisible Differences
Goal: Reveal that many aspects of diversity are unseen but deeply impactful.
- Ask participants to anonymously write something unique about their background.
- Read aloud a few entries and discuss assumptions.
Key Learning: True inclusion accounts for invisible differences like mental health, neurodiversity, and life experience.
Bonus Activity: Inclusion Spectrum
Goal: Help participants reflect on how they respond to DEI moments, from passive to proactive.
- Present the Inclusion Spectrum: Exclusion → Tolerance → Acceptance → Inclusion → Advocacy.
- Share scenarios and ask where their response typically falls.
- Discuss how to move closer to advocacy.
