This activity challenges participants to begin developing deeper relationships with those who are different from them. They will read The Atlantic article, “These are the Americans who live in a bubble” (in the Links section of this tool) and use it to reflect on their own personal bubbles and how they might further develop relationships across difference.

Participants can fill out the handout included in the Downloads section of this tool on their own time. Then, instructors can choose to have participants answer reflection questions in an essay, or discuss them through an online discussion board or video chat.
