Diversity & Inclusion Activities – 5 Practical Exercises for the Workplace

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.

  1. Ask participants to anonymously write something unique about their background.
  2. 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.

  1. Present the Inclusion Spectrum: Exclusion → Tolerance → Acceptance → Inclusion → Advocacy.
  2. Share scenarios and ask where their response typically falls.
  3. Discuss how to move closer to advocacy.
