Diversity in Action
by Sharon
Chappelle and Lisa Bigman, with Francesca Hillyer
Diversity In Action
provides over 100 Adventure activities adapted toward issues of
diversity--topics range from gender to race to class. But in order to
broach the sensitive and often loaded issues of diversity, especially
with youth, you must first develop an atmosphere in which people feel
comfortable and safe, where they know they will be listened to and
treated with respect, and where group members have agreed to abide by
certain rules of behavior that above all value each individual and his
or her unique experience. Diversity in Action also provides
information on facilitation skills and types of activities. Each of the
13 diversity topics contains background information and provides tips
for discussing them with young people. Each topic contains its own group
of activities but also suggests other topics where the activity would be
appropriate. |
