Intercultural Learning Activities to Explore and Address Bias
- Circle of Trust (15 minutes)
In this activity, participants take stock of the individuals in their personal circle of trust and assess shared and differing identities (gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, age, etc.). - Lookism (45 minutes)
This activity challenges participants to consider "how appearance affects bias" (Clark, 2017). - Check Your Bias Blind Spot (30 minutes)
This activity challenges participants to engage with their "bias blind spot" (Pronin et al., 2002) and consider how bias impacts their behaviors and conclusions about situations. - Count the F's (15 minutes)
In this Thiagi activity, participants interrogate their preconceived notions and cognitive biases, such as overconfidence. - Incremental Process (30 minutes)
In this activity, participants learn to recognize that learning how to interact with individuals who are different from them is an incremental process and develop strategies for learning from past mistakes. - Implicit Bias and Self-Regulation (30 minutes)
In this activity, participants watch a video and answer questions to reflect on their implicit biases and develop skills to avoid responding and reacting to others based on stereotypes. - Subtle Prejudice Activity (30 minutes)
In this activity, participants fill out a questionnaire on their level of comfort in different situations and discuss as a group to develop awareness of how subtle beliefs and behaviors can affect social interactions in everyday life and reflect on situations where race, gender, sexuality, disability, weight, and age affect interactions.
