Intercultural Learning Activities to Explore and Address Bias

    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.
