The Perfect Gift

In this activity, participants explore how focusing on their view of the “perfect” gift might be tinted by their own wishes and biases (self-awareness), and by exercising curiosity, they may gain insight that could be used to build empathy with their activity partner to design a more meaningful gift adapted for them.

Exploring Etiquette Across Cultures

This collection provides activities to introduce and explore differences in performing etiquette across cultures in addition to articles that address issues of etiquette. 

*While engaging with this collection, it is important to remember that like culture, etiquette practices evolve and change over time. In one resource, you might see a caution against talking about money in a particular area of the world, for example, and in another resource, you might see that talking about money in that same area of the world is appropriate. All this to say, perceptions, practices, values, behaviors, and more vary across cultures and individuals. We encouraging refraining from essentialism which can lead to stereotyping and using these resources to bring self and other awareness as even though etiquette rules may evolve over time, the concept of etiquette exists across cultures.
